Launch Your Boat
Recommended Boat Ramps for Our Guests
Our waterfront vacation rental has a great floating dock. We know you need a great way to get your boat in the water.
We recommend the following boat ramps for our guests to use while staying at Hideout Heights. Each location offers convenient access to the water and excellent facilities to meet all your boating needs.
We use Yankeetown Marina the most, but sometimes use Bird Creek Boat Ramp if the tide is too low at Yankeetown Marina.
