**Location & Access:**
The Grandview Boat Ramp is located in Grandview, Spencer County, Indiana, on the Ohio River. To reach the launch, follow SR 111 southwest from New Albany to Old River Road, then continue east and south approximately 3 miles to the ramp. Access to the boat launch requires crossing the concrete Greenway Trail, which is constructed atop the floodwall levee—follow posted signage for proper entry routes. Note that parking is restricted to designated areas; do not park on the entry road or boat launch itself.
**Boating Conditions:**
The Grandview ramp provides access to the Ohio River and connects to Sandy Creek and Blackford Creek in the Cumberland Plateau/Appalachian Mountains region. The Ohio River at this location is a major waterway suitable for various recreational craft including kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats. Anglers should be aware that fishing is permitted at the facility.
**Tips for Visitors:**
Plan to arrive with adequate daylight, check current river conditions before launching, and be familiar with the floodwall crossing procedure. This access point serves as a good base for exploring the local waterways while also offering proximity to the nearby Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial for those interested in additional recreational opportunities in the area.
