About This Access Site
**Location & Access**
Jaycees Boat Ramp is located in Riverfront Park on Water Street in New Albany, Floyd County, offering convenient access to the Ohio River. The ramp is situated within the McAlpine Pool, a navigational channel that serves as a major waterway between Louisville and Cincinnati.
**What to Expect**
This is a developed boat launch facility suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized vessels. The Ohio River in this section is a large, navigable waterway with relatively modest current typical of the lower Ohio. Paddlers should expect river traffic from barges and commercial vessels. The area provides good opportunities for recreational boating and fishing. Be aware that nearby Middle Creek Ramp access has been affected by road closures—if Middle Creek is your destination, check current conditions as an alternate launch route may be necessary.
**Planning Your Visit**
Before heading out, confirm current water conditions and any seasonal considerations for the Ohio River. The McAlpine Pool's status as an active commercial navigation channel means paddlers should remain alert to barge traffic and exercise appropriate caution.
