Moscow Boat Ramp boat launch
Moscow Boat Ramp
The latitude and longitude coordinates of the Moscow Boat Ramp are accurate, as they match the location provided by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. According to their website, the ramp is located on the Ohio River at mile marker 509.9.
The Ohio River is a large waterway that spans over 900 miles and is used for commercial shipping, recreational boating, and fishing. The Moscow Boat Ramp is one of many access points along the river that provide opportunities for boaters and anglers to enjoy the scenic beauty and abundant wildlife of the area.
In terms of regulations, boaters should be aware of the local laws and regulations governing the use of the Ohio River, including rules regarding safe boating practices, navigation, and fishing. Additionally, Kentucky requires all motorized watercraft to be registered and display a valid registration sticker.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app

About Moscow Boat Ramp
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
