Ramps On the KY River

[R82]

Is that the ramp that goes down to that little creek or is there one that goes straight to the river? I've travelled 355 a lot and that is the only ramp I can think of.

yes that's the one.... I normally troll out to the main river...

I think I know that ramp. Is that the one called Perry Point, or Percy Point or something, between Lock & Dam 2 and 3?

not really sure of the name of the ramp.... but if you miss it you go right to perry park resort and golf course..
I almost was afraid to tell him where it was because it's real easy to miss... He may get back on here and say i put him on a wild goose chase...

Yeah I know what you mean. I've never put in there, it's a long steep ramp, and the van I used to pull my jon boat with didn't have the greatest tranny. I was afraid I might not make it back up.

How far is the main river from the ramp? Is that creek deep enough to handle a 21' pontoon boat when it is at its regular stage? I was only on it when it was way up and went upstream.

my brother inlaw and i launch his 20 triton with no problem... it would handle it but you may want a 4x4 to get it back out with.. the ramp is alittle steep and slick at times.. i love going there because if you go during the week you have the place to yourself most the time..

What is the bass fishing like up there?

it's kinda hit and miss... i've had great days and been skunked..
remember it's a river system , if we've had alot of rain it gets muddy pretty quick and the current gets ripping.. if its your first time there go in the daylight so you can find the ramp for the first time.. evey once in awhile i'll call ky river campground and ask them the condition of the river they normally give a good report as far as current and the color ..hope this helps Larry

What does the area look like between lock 2 and 3? Is it more of the mud banks or is it the rocky banks? Thanks Ryan.

I would say this section b/n lock 1 and 2 is 90% mud bank with a few rocky areas every few miles. Last Few years I have caught fewer fish in this part of ky river. Seems like it was better for me about 5 years ago or so. Being a river, its always changing...there is definitely MORE rock bank in the pool b/N lock 2 and 3.

The ramp between 1 and 2 is in Twin creek. That is the only ramp in this pool except for the gravel below lock #2. Its fine with a small boat but I would not want to try it with anything over 17'. Above Lock #2 is the ramp in Six mile creek which will let you access that part of th river since that pool is not very long.
