New Athens Public Boat Ramp
New Athens Public Boat Ramp
The New Athens Public Boat Ramp provides access to the Kaskaskia River's navigable channel and connects to the New Athens Marina, which offers camping, RV facilities, and dining options.
The ramp accommodates both motorized boats and serves as the southern terminus for the Kaskaskia River water trail, with a floating launch platform recommended for paddlers to avoid conflicts with motor traffic.
A no-wake zone is enforced near the ramp, and boaters should be aware of barge traffic on the river and the lock and dam located 28 miles downstream.
