Brown's Marina

Brown's Marina in Irondale, Jefferson County provides boat access to Hollow Rock Run and Yellow Creek. This is a free launch location suitable for small boats and is located near Highway 213. Note that access conditions may vary seasonally—the site has reported limited availability during certain periods, with only low-water ramps operational at times and some launch lanes periodically closed. Check current conditions before planning your trip, as dock availability and ramp usability can change.

The site provides convenient access to Yellow Creek and connects paddlers to the broader Ohio River system, including the New Cumberland Pool downstream. This area is popular for local boating and fishing activities. Given the seasonal closures and variable conditions mentioned in recent reports, paddlers should verify that the ramp is operational and suitable for their vessel type before arriving. Contact local authorities or the marina directly for current status on available lanes, water levels, and any restrictions.
