The Augusta Street Public Boat Launch in New Richmond provides public access to the Ohio River in Clermont County. This ramp offers a convenient put-in point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore Boat Run and the broader Ohio River system. The location is situated along the western border of Clermont County, where the Ohio River provides over 38 miles of recreational opportunities.
Paddlers should note that the launch area is designated for loading and unloading watercraft only—fishing from the ramp or dock is not permitted, though bank fishing is allowed at the facility. Parking should be kept off the entry road and boat launch itself. The nearby Meldahl Pool, created by Captain Anthony Meldahl Locks & Dam at river mile 436, extends approximately 95 miles upstream and offers a navigable waterway suitable for various skill levels. For those interested in shorter paddles, nearby tributaries like the East Fork of the Little Miami River provide additional paddling opportunities, including William H. Harsha Lake recreation area.
