Small Crafter's is a public boat access point located in Haubstadt along the Ohio River in Vanderburgh County, Indiana. The ramp provides launch access to the Newburgh Pool section of the Ohio River, a maintained navigational channel that follows the historic Lewis and Clark route. This location is convenient for paddlers and boaters looking to access the main river channel and explore the broader Ohio River system.
The access point is situated near several recreational opportunities, including nearby tributaries like Little Yellow Creek that are popular for kayaking and canoeing. As part of the Ohio River's network of public launch sites, Small Crafter's serves as a practical departure point for day trips on the river.
