About This Access Site
Boone's Landing provides boat ramp access to Big Bone Creek and its connection to the Ohio River in Union, Boone County, Kentucky. The landing serves as a gateway for paddlers and boaters heading downstream toward the Ohio River system. Big Bone Creek is approximately 200+ feet wide in this area with depths ranging from 8-18 feet, and the channel maintains depths around 15 feet all the way down to the Ohio River at mile marker 516.8.

**Access & Facilities:** The site features a dedicated boat ramp, courtesy dock, and restroom facilities. A fishing area is also available on the property. To reach Boone's Landing from I-64, take exit 133 and head south on KY 801. At the KY 801/KY 1274 intersection, turn right onto KY 519, then right onto KY 772, followed by right onto County Road 1474—the ramp will be on your right. An alternate route from Beattyville goes south on KY-11 to Booneville, left on KY-30 across the South Fork Kentucky River, then left on Fish Creek Road for approximately 2 miles.

**Paddling Considerations:** Big Bone Creek offers a navigable waterway suitable for canoes and kayaks heading downstream toward the Ohio River. Please practice courtesy at the boat ramp by waiting until it's clear before launching or loading, and avoid congestion during peak times.
