DifficultyeasyThis is a short KDFWR public-ramp segment on a broad Class I river corridor. Treat it as easy only when the Munfordville gauge is stable in the KDFWR good band; high water, wind, boat traffic, ramp drops, and private banks can make landings less forgiving.
PermitsNone notedNo route-specific paddling permit is known. Use only the KDFWR-listed public ramps, follow Kentucky boating and PFD rules, obey city park rules at Stovall Park, and carry required safety gear.
CampingDay tripTreat this as a short day trip. Stovall Park lists seasonal camping, but this route does not assume overnight use or any private-bank stopping between the ramps.
SeasonMar-NovPool 6 is regulated by Green River Lake upstream, but storms, dam releases, and broad-river wind can still change the practical day. Spring and wetter fall windows are more reliable; summer trips should be checked against the Munfordville gauge and local weather.

Access, shuttle, and map

Launch at H.H. Wilson Park Ramp and take out about 3.6 miles downstream at Munfordville-Stovall Park Ramp. KDFWR gives a good Munfordville gauge band of 300 to 600 cfs for Green River Pool 6, and today sits far above that range.

Access caveats and watch for

Access caveats

  • H.H. Wilson Park Ramp is a single-lane paved ramp with a small gravel parking area. KDFWR warns that the end of the ramp does not extend far into the water and there is a drop at the end of the concrete.
  • Stovall Park Ramp is a city-owned single-lane paved ramp with paved parking, restrooms, picnic areas, and park traffic. Use the ramp efficiently and avoid blocking trailers or local park users.
  • KDFWR notes private-property concerns around Pool 6 access sites. Stay with the named public ramps and do not use private banks for lunch stops, scouting, or parking.
  • The Munfordville gauge is direct for this Hart County segment, but local wind, release timing, rain, and ramp conditions still control the launch decision.

Watch for

  • High water above KDFWR's 600 cfs good band, when a broad river can push much harder at ramps, rocky banks, and bends.
  • Low water below 300 cfs, which can expose shoals, ramp drops, and shallow edges around access points.
  • Motorboats, anglers, fishing lines, swimmers near parks, and other ramp users on a popular Pool 6 corridor.
  • Wind on open pools, hot-weather exposure, muddy banks, and limited legal stopping options away from public access.
  • Fresh woody debris, storm runoff, and changing release or lake-tailwater conditions upstream of the Munfordville reach.

    USGS Water Services returned same-day July 11, 2026 discharge and gage-height values at 20:00 CDT for Green River at Munfordville during this run. That is far above KDFWR's 300-600 cfs good band, so this short segment still needs explicit high-water caution today.
