About This Access Site
Henderson Riverfront - 2 provides convenient access to the Ohio River in Henderson, Kentucky. This boat ramp serves as a launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters looking to explore the Newburgh Pool section of the Ohio River. The facility offers a straightforward entry point to this major waterway, which is maintained as a navigational channel and follows the historic Lewis and Clark route.

Paddlers should be aware that the Ohio River is a large, flowing river system with commercial traffic. Water levels can fluctuate seasonally and after heavy rainfall, so it's advisable to check current conditions before launching. The downtown Henderson area provides nearby amenities and dining options for boaters. If this ramp is unavailable or crowded, the nearby Hays Boat Ramp (located at 2011 N. Henderson) offers an alternative access point in the same area. Plan your trip accordingly and familiarize yourself with Ohio River navigation hazards before departing.
