Located at the end of 12th Street in Wellsburg (also known as Wellsburg Wharf or Pier 12), this public boat ramp provides access to the Ohio River and features a well-paved, lighted launch area.

The ramp has no facilities on-site, but the Crooked Dock bar and restaurant is located adjacent to the launch point.

Note that barge activity occurs in this section of the Ohio River, particularly between river miles 71-70, which may present navigation challenges for paddlers.
