The Tar Fork/Clover Creek access area in Cloverport offers convenient boat ramp access to Clover Creek and the nearby Ohio River. Two ramp options serve the area: a city ramp located just off West Main Street in historic downtown Cloverport (adjacent to the city pier and near the Sacajawea Festival building), and a second ramp on Highway 105 at the southern edge of town. This location provides easy access for kayakers and canoeists looking to paddle Clover Creek or venture onto the Ohio River's Cannelton Pool, a popular recreational boating area.
The site is centrally located within Cloverport's city limits, making it convenient for day trips and offering nearby amenities within walking distance of downtown. Paddlers interested in multi-day trips will find German Ridge Campground approximately 10 miles away for overnight stays. The proximity to the Ohio River and the historic Lewis and Clark route adds to the area's recreational appeal for boaters exploring the region.
