Life on the River
Having a private ramp means the entire Ohio River is your playground. Here are the trips our campers love to make.
The Manchester Island Day Trip
A local favorite. Head upriver (about 45-60 mins) to Manchester Island in Adams County. It is the perfect spot to drop anchor, wade in the sandy shallows, and hang out with friends on the water. It’s the closest thing to a 'beach day' you can get in Ohio.
Sunset at Chilo Lock 34
For a shorter run, head downriver to the historic Chilo Lock 34 (about 15 mins by boat). The river widens here, and the angle is perfect for watching the sunset drop right over the water. It is a breathtaking evening cruise.
The 'Dinner Run' to Augusta
Skip the car and take the boat to dinner. Launch from our ramp and cruise down to Augusta, KY. Dock at the public landing and walk up the hill for award-winning bourbon at Augusta Distillery or a riverfront meal at The Beehive.
