About This Access Site
Carrsville provides a convenient public access point to the Ohio River in Livingston County, Kentucky. The facility features a **double-lane boat launching ramp** with ample parking for day users, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. This is one of six public access sites that Livingston County maintains along the Ohio River, giving paddlers multiple options for launching in the area.

The Ohio River at this location is a major navigation waterway with established commercial traffic patterns. Paddlers should be aware of barge and towboat traffic, especially as the John T. Myers Locks and Dam is located approximately 3.5 miles downstream. Before launching, check current water conditions and plan your route accordingly. This access point is ideal for day trips and exploring the lower Ohio River region.
