Greenwood Boat Ramp provides public access to the Ohio River in Louisville, Kentucky, serving kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters launching into the McAlpine Pool—a navigational channel that stretches between Louisville and Cincinnati. The ramp is conveniently located off US 60/31W (Dixie Highway) and Greenwood Road, making it easily accessible for paddlers exploring this major river system. The Ohio River in this area offers diverse recreational opportunities, from paddling the main channel to exploring tributary streams suitable for kayaking and canoeing.
As one of four public access points in the western Jefferson County area, Greenwood Ramp is part of the Riverview Park facility and is open during designated daylight hours. The McAlpine Pool provides a established navigational channel, making it suitable for various watercraft. Paddlers should note that this is an active commercial waterway—use caution around barge traffic and commercial vessel operations. The nearby tributary streams and secondary channels offer calmer water alternatives for those seeking quieter paddling experiences.
