About This Access Site
The Tell City access site provides public boat launch facilities on the Ohio River in Perry County, Indiana. Located just 0.25 miles from the town of Tell City, this ramp serves as a convenient entry point for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters exploring the Cannelton Pool section of the Ohio River. The site is part of Perry County's network of maintained public access points along the Ohio River corridor.

The Cannelton Pool in this area is popular with recreational boaters and supports fishing and small boat activities. The relatively calm pool conditions make this a suitable launch for paddlers of varying experience levels. Before visiting, check local conditions and any seasonal advisories, as water levels and flow can vary. Facilities are maintained by Perry County, though visitors should contact local authorities for current information about parking, amenities, and any access restrictions.
