The Charlestown Landing Boat Ramp project recently received an Award of Excellence from the Associated Builders and Contractors of Kentuckiana, Inc. 

The award goes jointly to the owner, contractor and designer. Charlestown State Park assistant property manager Andrea Logsdon represented the IDNR in accepting the award, which is on display in the Charlestown State Park office lobby.

The Charlestown Landing Boat Ramp was opened for public use in summer 2007, and was formally dedicated by Gov. Mitch Daniels in June 2007. The facility provides area residents with their first direct boat access to the river in 60 years.

The awarding organization includes most of Kentucky and several southern Indiana counties.
