Paris Pike Georgetown boat launch
Paris Pike Georgetown
The Paris Pike Georgetown boat ramp is approximately 10 feet wide and has a gentle slope, making it easy for boaters to launch their craft. The ramp is also equipped with a parking area that can accommodate up to 20 vehicles, as well as restrooms for visitors.
The Elkhorn Creek is a relatively calm waterway that is suitable for a variety of watercraft, including kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats. However, there are restrictions on the size and horsepower of boats that are allowed on the creek, so it is important for boaters to check with local authorities to ensure that their craft is permitted.
Overall, the Paris Pike Georgetown boat ramp provides a convenient and accessible entry point for boaters looking to explore the beautiful Elkhorn Creek in Kentucky.

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.

About Paris Pike Georgetown
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.
