Located in East Liverpool along Carpenter Run where it meets the Ohio River, Broadway Wharf is a public boat ramp providing access to this major waterway in Columbiana County. The ramp includes a dock and dump station, making it convenient for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The facility is well-maintained with designated parking areas; note that anglers and paddlers should use the riverbank for fishing rather than blocking the ramp or dock during loading and unloading.
The Ohio River in this area is part of the New Cumberland Pool, a modern lock and dam system designed for commercial navigation. Paddlers should be aware of barge and tow traffic on the main channel. Water conditions can vary seasonally, and some users have noted occasional shallow areas. The location offers access to approximately 38 miles of Ohio River frontage in the county, with nearby tributaries like Carpenter Run itself providing quieter alternatives for kayaking and canoeing. This is a solid launch point for both day trips and longer river paddling adventures.
