I was near the river but not actually there..but I must say, Brandenburg boat ramp, of course will put you in Ohio River., is one of the best all around. Beautiful scenery and history. Its so much more than a boat ramp into the Ohio River. You can walk around this place and it is the boat ramp park from long ago. It is maintained like no other place..Tje Ohio water level is eratic to say the least. Lots of mud and debris will constantly litter up any "River Park Boat Ramp". Brandenburg's is kept up faithfully. History lessons are in every walk around park. There is a century old jailhouse that is now an awesome pizza placs called Jailhouse Pizza. There is a statue that politics and people(understanable) of Louisville said had to go, but not Brandenburg, which welcomed the onfederate statue that Louisville( huge compared to Brandenburg) said must go.There are top of the line playground sets,out door cooking grills,restrooms, several covered areas for meetings or celebrations. The cleanest and most historical play ground/boat ramp. Awesome xmas...

But they do have big catfish and lots of different type of fish and different water sports jet skiing boating fishing, and a few other things to get into. But really the water isn't as pretty as you would wish it would be, it's kind of a greenish color, it's not blue or real pretty like the ocean or summersville lake or any of the freshwater or sea water places you may have been to before. But it's still a nice place to at least check out and soak in some summer sun, and hopefully fun.
PS.Let the Lord...
