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

The Loon Pit boat ramp at Sugar Ridge Fish & Wildlife Area provides convenient access to a managed fishing and recreational water body in Warrick County near Evansville. This is one of seven boat ramps available across five pits in the area, making it a popular spot for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboat users. **Only electric motors with a 12-volt maximum are permitted on Loon Pit**, though outboard motors are allowed at idle speed only on certain nearby pits (Blue Grass and Otter). Be sure to park only in designated parking areas.

The site offers good accessibility features for paddlers of all abilities. An ADA-compliant fishing pier and courtesy dock at Blue Grass Pit provide alternative water access points and help accommodate recreational boaters and anglers. The surrounding area is part of Sugar Ridge Fish & Wildlife Area, which manages these pits for both fishing and recreation. Accessible fishing areas for people with physical disabilities are available through written permit from the area management. The nearby Ohio River (Newburgh Pool) offers additional paddling opportunities for those seeking larger water bodies.
