About This Access Site
The Point Pleasant boat ramp provides excellent access to the Kanawha River at its confluence with the Ohio River. This location is ideal for paddlers and boaters looking to explore the lower Kanawha River or venture into the Ohio River system. The facility includes a concrete boat ramp, dock access, and a riverside deck, making it convenient for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats of various sizes.

Located at 10758 Charleston Road in Point Pleasant, Mason County, this access point is part of the Kanawha River Campground facility. Boaters can contact the site at 304-593-5iration or email contact.krc@icloud.com for current conditions and information. The nearby Ohio River offers significant paddling opportunities, including the Racine Pool (34 miles of navigable water upstream to Belleville Locks and Dam), accessible via I-77 to Ripley and US 33 West. The confluence location makes this ramp a good staging point for day trips or longer excursions into the broader river system.
