Little Gill Pond is located within the Peabody Wildlife Management Area near Paradise in Ohio County, Kentucky. The boat ramp provides public access to the pond and connects to the Pond River downstream. This is a scenic area popular with anglers, particularly during the white bass run around early April. The wetlands and sloughs attract abundant waterfowl, and bald eagles nest nearby and use the area for hunting.
**Access & Logistics:** From Greenville, take US-62 northeast past Rockport, then turn left on KY-1245 and follow WMA signs to reach the individual lakes. Parking is limited to designated parking areas and maintained roads—do not block gates or access roads. Note that hunting occurs in the area, so be aware of firearm regulations (hunters must stay 100+ yards from boat ramps during hunting seasons).
**What to Expect:** This is a wildlife-focused access point suited for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. The pond and adjacent river system offer opportunities for wildlife viewing and fishing in a natural setting. Spring visitors may encounter seasonal hunting activity, so check current regulations before your visit.
