**Location & Amenities**
Troy Public Site offers convenient public access to the Ohio River in Perry County, Indiana. The facility features a boat ramp, large parking area, picnic shelter, benches, and river views. This Perry County-maintained access point serves as one of several public launch options in the region, alongside facilities in Tell City and Cannelton. Saddle Lake Campground is available nearby for those planning overnight trips.
**River Character & Paddling**
The Troy access point provides entry to the Cannelton Pool section of the Ohio River, a broader, slower-moving pool popular with recreational boaters and commercial traffic. The river in this area is well-suited for kayakers and canoeists seeking a more manageable paddling experience. The historic location near the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial and along the Lewis and Clark route adds cultural significance to paddling trips from this site.
**Planning Your Visit**
Before launching, contact Perry County Parks or local management for current conditions, water levels, and any operational details. The site's amenities make it practical for day trips or as a staging point for longer Ohio River adventures. Consider nearby camping options if planning an extended outing on the river.
