**Location & Access:** Middle Creek Boat Ramp is located in New Albany, Floyd County, on the Ohio River near the McAlpine Pool. This is one of four public access points in Floyd County for launching watercraft. Note that Old River Road may be closed to traffic; follow signs approximately 3 miles down the road to locate the ramp entrance.
**Best For:** This ramp provides access to the Ohio River's McAlpine Pool, a major navigational channel between Louisville and Cincinnati. Kayakers and canoeists will find recreational opportunities here, with several tributaries in the area suitable for paddling. The site is also popular with boaters and anglers looking to fish the Ohio River.
**What to Know:** As a public access point on a major river system, conditions and facilities may vary seasonally. Verify current access status before visiting, as public boat ramps in Kentucky are subject to changes in operation or fees. This location is best suited for recreational boating rather than whitewater paddling, given the pool's nature as a navigational channel.
