Hovey Lake

The Hovey Lake Boat Ramp, located in Posey County, Indiana, provides convenient access to both Hovey Lake and the Ohio River. This facility features a double-lane boat launch and ample parking, making it well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboat users. The ramp is particularly popular for those seeking a more sheltered paddling experience on Hovey Lake's 1,400 acres, which offers calm water ideal for recreational paddling and fishing with electric motors.

In addition to Hovey Lake, the ramp provides access to the Ohio River navigation channel. Paddlers should be aware that the nearby John T. Myers Lock and Dam is located approximately 3.5 miles downstream, which affects water levels and flow conditions in the area. This makes the site suitable for both lake-based recreation and river paddling, depending on water conditions and experience level. The facility is a good base for exploring the local waterways in the J.T. Myers Pool section of the Ohio River.
