Uniontown

The Uniontown Boat Ramp is a well-equipped public access point on the Ohio River in western Kentucky, located between mile markers 842 and 843, just upstream of the John T. Myers Lock and Dam. The facility features a double-lane launching ramp suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats, with approximately 50 parking spaces available. Amenities include a picnic shelter and a courtesy dock for boat tie-up.

This section of the Ohio River is a major commercial waterway with significant barge traffic, so boaters should exercise caution and be aware of towboat operations. The John T. Myers Lock and Dam is located about 3 miles downstream, which affects water levels and creates a notable navigation feature for the area. Paddlers planning extended trips should account for the river's current and plan accordingly. The site's proximity to the lock and dam makes it an ideal launch point for day trips upstream or downstream access to other recreational areas along this stretch of the Ohio River.
