Cave Run Lake Boat Ramp

This small boat ramp provides access to the Licking River tailwater below Cave Run Lake Dam via a paved, single-lane ramp with limited parking capacity (25 or fewer vehicles).

Located off KY 826 just east of the dam, the ramp is free to use and available year-round 24 hours, making it convenient for paddlers and anglers accessing the tailwater section of the Licking River.
