About This Access Site
Aurora Marina offers a convenient public boat ramp for launching onto the Ohio River in Aurora, Indiana. The facility features an on-site ramp with ample parking, making it accessible for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The marina also provides amenities including covered and uncovered slips, shower and bathroom facilities, and transient docking options for those planning extended trips on the river.

Located off State Route 56 in rural Dearborn County, Aurora Marina provides good access to the scenic Ohio River corridor. The site's sheltered setting and proximity to Hogan Creek and Laughery Creek makes it a practical base for exploring this section of the river. Given the Ohio River's size and current, paddlers should be experienced with larger water bodies and prepared for variable conditions depending on water levels and dam releases upstream.
