Tannery Island Boat Launch

Tannery Island Boat Launch provides public access to the Pigeon River south of Newport via a dirt ramp suitable for small boats and kayaks.

The facility offers 24-hour access with minimal amenities (less than 5 trailer parking spaces, dirt surface), making it a basic put-in point for paddlers accessing the popular whitewater sections of the Pigeon River.

Note that this is private property currently being used by the public for launching small boats and bank fishing.
