About This Access Site
Dogtown Boat Ramp provides convenient access to the Ohio River approximately 4 miles southwest of Evansville, Indiana. The facility features a double-lane boat launching ramp and ample parking, making it well-suited for day-use boaters, kayakers, and canoeists. The site benefits from a state park-style landscape design with somewhat open tree cover and substantial paved surfaces.

This location offers excellent access to the Newburgh Pool section of the Ohio River, part of the historic Lewis and Clark route. Paddlers and boaters launching here can explore significant river navigation areas, with the John T. Myers Locks and Dam located approximately 3.5 miles downstream. The ramp's straightforward design and dual lanes accommodate multiple vessels, making it an efficient choice for both individual paddlers and group outings. The site is easily found through web search for current information on hours, fees, and any seasonal considerations.
