**Location & Access:** Maysville River Park is located at 100 Main Street on the eastern end of Maysville, Kentucky, along the southern bank of the Ohio River. To reach the launch, take KY 10 E in Maysville off Forest Avenue and proceed through the flood wall. The park sits within the Meldahl Pool section of the Ohio River.
**Facilities & Amenities:** This full-service facility offers a dedicated boat launch, boat docks, and marina services suitable for motorboats and larger vessels. The park includes restroom facilities, showers, a dump station, picnic areas, camping, and a snack shop. A playground is also available for families. The Ohio River at this location is a large, relatively slow-moving waterway suitable for various watercraft, though paddlers should be aware of barge traffic and changing water conditions typical of this major river system.
**Best For:** While primarily developed for motorboats, the launch provides access to the Ohio River for kayakers and canoeists looking to paddle longer distances or explore this major waterway. Nearby tributaries in the area also offer quieter paddling opportunities for those seeking an alternative to main channel traffic.
