Elnora

The Elnora boat ramp provides public access to the White River in Daviess County, located near Forest Park on the east side of town. This concrete launch ramp accommodates kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats, making it a convenient put-in point for paddlers exploring this major waterway.

The White River is a substantial stream—the 9th order tributary system drains over 26,000 square miles with an average flow of 34,831 cubic feet per second. Paddlers should expect moderate current with an average velocity of 5.76 feet/second and a gradient of 3.5 feet per mile. The river spans 530 miles total, offering extensive paddling opportunities downstream. This is a working river with multiple access points, so conditions and traffic may vary. The Elnora ramp serves as a good launching point for fishing trips and recreational float paddling on this scenic stretch of the White River.
