I got checked by fish and game back in December, and he said it was going to be closed off in March. I talked to fish and game again at the O'boro boat show, and they confirmed as well. I did some research on the net and a company out of Ohio has three hydroelectric projects on the Ohio and Cannelton is one of them. From my last research, construction is set to start sometime in March. So I would bet that access will no longer be allowed. Type in "Cannelton hyrdroelectric project" in Yahoo and you will see the bad news. Looks like Newburgh is the only one left.
