The Greenup boat ramp provides convenient access to the Little Sandy River near the town of Greenup in northeastern Kentucky. Located just off US 23, approximately 1/4 mile northwest of Greenup, this launch point offers quick access to paddling on the Little Sandy and connections to the Ohio River system. The ramp is situated at the bridge crossing area and serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore this section of water.
From this access point, paddlers can navigate downstream toward the Ohio River or explore upstream sections of the Little Sandy River. The nearby Ohio River - Greenup Pool provides a 9-foot-deep navigation channel extending 61.8 miles upstream to Gallipolis Locks and Dam, making this an ideal starting point for those planning longer river trips. The site's proximity to both local amenities in Greenup and the broader Ohio River system makes it a practical launching location for various skill levels and trip types.
