About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** Lock #2 is located in Lockport, Henry County, on the Kentucky River at river mile 31.0 (left bank). Access via KY-29/High Bridge Road south from Wilmore. **Note: This ramp is 4WD-only**, so standard boat trailers may not be suitable. Check conditions before visiting, as the steep or unimproved nature of this access point requires high-clearance vehicles.

**Best For:** This access point serves paddlers and boaters looking to navigate the lower Kentucky River section near the lock and dam system. It's a practical entry/exit point for canoeists and kayakers exploring the river's scenic corridor, though conditions and maintenance may vary. The proximity to Lock #2 means paddlers should be aware of dam operations and plan accordingly. Contact the Kentucky River Authority or local authorities for current conditions, as this site is not directly operated or maintained by the Authority.

**Planning Your Visit:** Given the 4WD-only requirement and variable conditions, confirm access availability before making the trip. This is best suited for self-supported paddlers familiar with less-developed launch sites.
