Longbow Boat Ramp

Longbow Boat Ramp is a paved, multi-lane facility on Cave Run Lake's narrow northern section, accommodating any trailerable recreational boat with parking for 26-50 vehicles and a courtesy dock.

The ramp is open year-round 24 hours and charges a $5 daily fee or $7 for three days; nearby Longbow Marina offers fuel and supplies.

Note that swimming is prohibited within 100 feet of the ramp, and the site becomes inaccessible if lake levels exceed 736 feet.
