Common questions about Indiana boat launches
- How many public boat launches are there in Indiana?
- Boating Hubs maps 200 boat launches in Indiana across 116 named waters. 196 are public access and 4 are semi-private, meaning access may be limited to residents, members or permit holders.
- Which waters in Indiana have the most boat launches?
- By mapped launch count: East Fork White River (11), Patoka Lake (9), St. Joseph River (9), Tippecanoe River (9) and Monroe Lake (7). Counts are the number of separate ramps and hand launches on each water, not the number of lanes.
- Is there a fee to use boat launches in Indiana?
- Launch fees are set by whoever manages the ramp, and Boating Hubs does not hold fee data for Indiana yet, so check the managing agency or marina before you tow. Ramps marked semi-private may also require a permit or membership.
