About This Access Site
The Warsaw City Boat Ramp offers public access to the Ohio River in Gallatin County, Kentucky, with convenient amenities including a dock, restrooms, and water facilities. The ramp is located in Warsaw and provides a straightforward launch point for boaters, kayakers, and canoeists heading onto this major river system. The nearby Markland Pool and Dam create a stable water environment in this section, making it suitable for various skill levels.

This access point is well-positioned for exploring the Ohio River's recreational opportunities, including fishing and paddling. Kayakers and canoeists will find the Markland Pool area relatively calm compared to other sections of the Ohio River, though paddlers should be aware of navigation traffic from commercial barges and larger vessels. The site's location also provides proximity to other local attractions, including nearby marinas like Smugglers Cove and Pier 99 that offer additional services and shelter in protected inlets.
