Riverview Park offers a public boat ramp on the Ohio River in Brandenburg, providing convenient access to this major waterway. The facility is located on Main Street in Brandenburg and features a dedicated boat ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats.

The Ohio River at this location is a large, flowing river system with moderate current typical of the central Ohio River valley. Paddlers should be prepared for river conditions including barge traffic, varying water levels, and current. This access point works well for both upstream and downstream paddling opportunities, with the river offering multiple-day touring routes in the region.
Note that access hours may be restricted, and detours via Cotton Patch Road and KY 654 may be necessary depending on road conditions. Before your visit, confirm current access hours and any temporary closures by contacting Brandenburg Parks or checking local resources.
