Damvue River Camp

Damvue River Camp offers boat access to the Ohio River near Florence, Indiana, in Switzerland County. This ramp provides launch access to both Log Lick Creek and the Ohio River, making it a viable put-in point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters exploring this major river system. The location's proximity to the Markland Pool—an important navigation feature along the Ohio River—means paddlers should be aware of barge traffic and commercial navigation in the area.

The Ohio River at this location is a large, generally slow-moving waterway with moderate current. Boaters should be prepared for potential navigation traffic and plan accordingly. Before launching, check current water conditions and river levels, as the Ohio River's flow can vary seasonally. The site's location near Markland Dam and Lock means you may observe or need to navigate around commercial locking operations if traveling longer distances on the river.

For specific details about ramp conditions, hours of operation, amenities, and any applicable fees, contact the facility or local county resources. This access point is best suited for paddlers comfortable with larger river systems and those willing to share the water with commercial traffic.
