The Shoals access site on the East Fork White River in Martin County offers a public boat ramp for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. Located in the town of Shoals where US 50 crosses the river, this is a convenient put-in point for exploring the East Fork. The facility includes free parking and basic amenities to support river users.
**Important Note for Paddlers:** Immediately below the ramp where US 50 crosses the river, you'll encounter a shallow, light rapids section. Be aware that once you paddle through this area, you may have difficulty returning upstream. Plan your trip accordingly, especially if this is an out-and-back paddle or if you're unfamiliar with the conditions. This access point is one of 25 public boat launch areas along the East Fork White River system, making it part of a well-developed network for recreational boating and paddling in the region.
