Riverside Boat Launch

**Location & Access:** Riverside Boat Launch is a public boat ramp operated by the City of Cincinnati, located off River Road approximately 4 miles west of downtown Cincinnati on the Ohio River. The facility provides direct in-water access to the Ohio River and its tributary, Dry Creek.

**Amenities & Services:** This ramp offers fuel service and in/out trailer assistance for boaters. In-water slips are available directly on the Ohio River. Please note that parking is restricted to designated areas only—signs are posted to prevent parking on the entry road or ramp itself. Fishing is permitted from the riverbank, but anglers should avoid fishing from the boat launch ramp or dock to keep these areas clear for loading and unloading watercraft.

**Recreation Opportunities:** The Ohio River at this location provides excellent boating, fishing, and paddling opportunities. Kayakers and canoeists will find Dry Creek and other local tributaries particularly well-suited for paddling. The area is also near notable Cincinnati attractions including Winton Woods Park (2,630 acres with West Fork Lake) and the William Howard Taft National Historic Site, making this a convenient launch point for both water-based recreation and area exploration.
