Houchins Ferry is a carry-down boat ramp on the Green River offering access for canoes, kayaks, and small trailed boats, with paved parking, restrooms, picnic facilities, and a riverside campground available year-round.

The launch site can be muddy and requires caution to avoid interfering with ferry operations; boats should be launched on the downstream side.

This location serves as a popular takeout point for paddling trips and a base for anglers and campers seeking river access within Mammoth Cave National Park.
