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

The Loon Pit boat ramp provides convenient access to this popular fishing destination in Warrick County. The facility features a standard boat ramp suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats. An ADA-compliant fishing pier and courtesy dock are available, making this site accessible to paddlers and anglers of all abilities. Be sure to park only in designated lots as indicated by signage at the area.

**Important motor restrictions apply:** Electric motors are limited to 12-volt maximum, while outboard motors are permitted at idle speed only on Loon Pit. These regulations help protect the water quality and wildlife habitat. The area is part of the larger Sugar Ridge Fish & Wildlife Area complex, which manages seven boat ramps across five pits. Nearby recreation opportunities include access to the Ohio River's Newburgh Pool, a significant navigation channel area along the historic Lewis and Clark route. For those needing accessible fishing accommodations beyond what's available at the ramp, written permits for designated accessible areas can be obtained through Sugar Ridge FWA.
