Lafayette, Indiana

Managed by the Lafayette Parks Dept., this access site has a concrete boat ramp. Shamrock Park also contains a large enclosed dog park, playing field, playground, and covered pavilion.

Important: The river is constantly changing. Hazards like log jams and tree falls will come and go often, so always be ready for them. Even islands and riverbends come and go over time. Riffles and sandbars will appear and disappear based on water flow levels. Do not attempt boating on this or any river during high water. Please be safe, respectful and responsible on the river.
