Sugar Ridge Fish & Wildlife Area/Blue Grass Fish & Wildlife Area

Ringneck Pit offers a dedicated boat ramp providing convenient access to this recreational water body in Warrick County near Evansville. The site is part of the larger Sugar Ridge Fish & Wildlife Area system, which maintains seven boat ramps across five different pits in the region. This access point is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats, though **only electric motors with a maximum 12-volt rating are permitted**. An ADA-compliant fishing pier and courtesy dock are available at nearby Blue Grass Pit, the busiest ramp on the property, offering improved access and safety features for all users.

Visitors should park only in designated lots and can contact the Sugar Ridge Fish & Wildlife Area office at **(812) 789-2724** for additional information about conditions, permits, or accessibility accommodations. The area is managed as a restored strip-mined landscape and supports a variety of wildlife viewing opportunities. For paddlers seeking nearby alternatives, the Ohio River's Newburgh Pool is accessible in the region and offers more substantial water conditions along the historic Lewis and Clark route.
