About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** The Oneida ramp is a single-lane concrete boat launch located directly north of Oneida Elementary School off Newfound-Oneida Road in Clay County. A large paved parking area sits at the top of the ramp, providing convenient vehicle and trailer parking. To reach the site from Beattyville, take KY-11 south toward Booneville, turn left on KY-30 to cross the South Fork, then immediately left onto Fish Creek Road—the ramp is approximately 2 miles ahead on the left.

**Paddling Conditions:** The Oneida access point serves the South Fork Kentucky River, a scenic waterway flowing through eastern Kentucky's rugged Cumberland Plateau landscape. This ramp is ideal for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore the South Fork, and provides a straightforward launch for motorized boats as well. Water conditions vary seasonally and with rainfall, so paddlers should check current water levels before planning their trip.

**Practical Notes:** This is a public access site that provides basic but functional facilities for river users. The single-lane ramp is best suited for smaller craft and may experience congestion during peak use times. Plan accordingly and leave space for other boaters launching and retrieving.
