Fishing
Fishing on the Ohio River is a very enjoyable experience.
The Ohio River provides some of the best catfishing for the state of Ohio and West Virginia. Other fish include small mouth bass, large mouth bass, gar, and many more. People drive hundreds of miles to fish the Ohio River, which will be right in your back yard during your stay at Kennedy Marina.
You must acquire a West Virginia or Ohio fishing license if you are or over the age of 15. A holder of a valid fishing license from either WV or OH may fish either side of the Ohio River.
