The Jewel City boat ramp provides public access to the Green River near Calhoun in McLean County, Kentucky. This launch site serves as a convenient put-in for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore this scenic river system. The ramp is located south of Campbellsville via KY 55—look for the entrance to the Corps of Engineers office and follow signs to the ramp.
Paddlers should be aware that the Green River in this area is managed by multiple locks and dams (Green River Locks 1 and 2 are nearby), which create a usable navigation channel but also mean water levels and flow conditions can be affected by dam operations. Public facilities at the locks themselves are not available, so plan accordingly. The ramp offers a straightforward access point for day trips and longer paddling adventures on the Green River, though paddlers should check current water conditions before launching.
