Cave-In-Rock State Park offers excellent access to the Ohio River with **two boat ramps and adjacent parking** located on the western edge of the park. This is an ideal launch point for kayakers and canoeists looking to paddle the Ohio River, which is known for calm, scenic stretches suitable for recreational paddling. The ramps are well-maintained and provide straightforward river access for boats of all types.
Beyond paddling, the site offers additional amenities and attractions. The park features on-site camping (34 Class A and 25 Class B/S tent sites), a fishing pond, and visitor facilities including the Cave-In-Rock Visitor Center and Museum of Natural History. Park rangers and the site superintendent can provide information on local regulations, fishing licenses, and current river conditions. Anglers will find good fishing opportunities in both the pond and the Ohio River itself. **Camp Cadiz Campground** is also available nearby for those seeking additional lodging options within 10 miles of the access site.
