The Ohio River Boat Launch at 275 Burnett Street features a modern 5-6 lane lighted ramp with 85 parking spaces and a courtesy dock, constructed in 2014 with federal funding.

Access is via the Greenway Trail across the floodwall levee, and the facility is located just north of downtown Paducah near the convention centers.

Fishing is permitted from the riverbank, though anglers must avoid the boat launch ramp and dock areas reserved for loading and unloading vessels.
