Access map
Put-in
Rio Carrydown AccessRio is a carry-down-only access with unpaved parking and no amenities. Keep the launch compact and avoid spilling onto nearby private ground.
Take-out
H.H. Wilson Park RampH.H. Wilson Park Ramp is a paved launch, but KDFWR warns that the concrete does not extend far into the water and drops off at the end.
Road shuttle
Stage the take-out at H.H. Wilson Park Ramp, then drive back to Rio Carrydown Access. Rio has limited unpaved parking and Wilson has a short paved ramp with a gravel lot, so keep both access areas tight and efficient.
Additional access notes
- KDFWR notes private-property concerns around Green River Pool 6 access sites. Stay with the named public accesses and do not use mid-route banks for parking or casual trespass stops.
- The Munfordville gauge is direct for this Hart County segment, but same-day rain, wind, wood, and ramp conditions still control the launch decision.
More route and safety guidance
- Keep stops and any exit plan tied to Rio, H.H. Wilson, or other verified public access points; private banks and sandbars should not be treated as general bailout or camping areas.
- Inspect the H.H. Wilson finish before launch because KDFWR notes the paved ramp drops off at the waterline.
