**Location & Access:** Tanners Creek Launch is a public boat ramp located in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, on the Ohio River, approximately 35 miles west of downtown Cincinnati. The facility has served as a public access point for over 50 years and charges a fee to launch.
**Amenities & Services:** This well-developed facility offers multiple launching options with a maintained boat ramp and in-and-out trailer service available. A travelift is on-site for hauling larger vessels. Beyond launching, the site features transient docking for boats up to 70 feet, rental slips, picnic shelters, and good fishing opportunities—making it suitable for day trips or longer stays on the river.
**For Paddlers:** While primarily designed for motorized boats, kayakers and canoeists can access the Ohio River here to paddle the main channel. The Ohio is a large, navigable river with moderate current. Be prepared for barge traffic and plan accordingly, especially if you're unfamiliar with river conditions. This is a good put-in for paddlers looking to explore this section of the Ohio River.
