Located in Monticello on the Tippecanoe River, this five-acre public access site offers a convenient launch point for paddlers and boaters exploring this popular Indiana waterway. The facility includes a boat ramp, restrooms, picnic areas, and a pavilion, making it suitable for day trips and family outings. The site also features walking trails through native plantings and a butterfly garden for those looking to combine water recreation with nature exploration.
The Tippecanoe River below the dam offers accessible paddling opportunities, with an 18-mile stretch to the Wabash River confluence typically divided into two manageable 9-mile floats. The improved ramp at this location makes launching straightforward for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. However, boaters should be aware that Hydrilla infestations occasionally cause temporary closures, so checking current conditions before your visit is recommended. For detailed information about water levels, river conditions, and trip planning, consult the Tippecanoe River information resources and local outfitters.
