The City of Jeffersonville is preparing for dredging operations at Duffy’s Landing. Dredging is the process of removing built-up sediment from the river bottom to help maintain safe and reliable water depth for boaters using the ramp and surrounding areas.
Under Indiana law, dredging is not permitted from April 1 through June 30. The City will begin the dredging process as soon as possible. Bids for the project are due by June 30, with the Board of Public Works expected to award the contract at its July 1 meeting.
Please note that access to dock slips at Duffy’s Landing is currently limited due to recent flooding. River conditions can also result in reduced depth near the ramp, and boaters are encouraged to use caution when loading and unloading. Seasonal repairs to the dock slips are also in the works.
Dredging schedules and regulations vary by state, including differences between Indiana and Kentucky law.
We appreciate your understanding as we complete seasonal maintenance to support continued access at Duffy’s Landing.
I’d like to know if there are designated areas to fish at Duffys Landing as I’ve been so told and not on the docks, cause it seems some of the boaters want us off (Their Docks) I been fishing Duffys Landing for over Thirteen years now, Three to four times a week on these docks mornings, Now all of a sudden it’s a problem with some of the boaters, I thought this dock were publicly used and not by Boaters only, They tell us our area as shore fishermen are in the weeds and stubble west of the ramp that may have Copperheads, holes and debris ,we could trip over, Is Public,Public or is it just for the wonderful Boaters of this city? I personally am going to fish on them till The boaters have the city put up, No Fishing sighns on them or Law enforcement tells me I have to leave the dock area,
I’d like to know why the dredging equipment is parked next-door on private property.
