Sherburn Park

Sherburn Park offers a public boat ramp access point to the Ohio River in Mount Vernon, located on Water Street. This ramp provides launch access to the J.T. Myers Pool section of the Ohio River, making it a convenient starting point for paddlers and boaters in Posey County. The Ohio River in this region is a major waterway suitable for various recreational activities including boating, fishing, and paddling.

The site is positioned within a region of the Ohio River that offers multiple recreation opportunities. Nearby access points and recreational areas—including Hovey Lake Fish and Wildlife Area approximately 3 miles away—provide additional options for exploring the area. Paddlers should note that the Ohio River is a large, working river with commercial barge traffic, so proper navigation practices and awareness of lock and dam operations (including the John T. Myers Lock and Dam downstream) are essential for safety.

Before visiting, it's recommended to confirm current access conditions, any applicable fees, and facility amenities, as public ramps can be subject to changes in availability or hours of operation.
