It’s set to open soon (4th of July), which means you haven’t missed the chance to relax on the river with burgers, hot dogs, ice cream, and an atmosphere that is pure summertime.

Brent’s Landing is a slice of property along the Ohio River in Silver Grove, Kentucky.

The ferry stopped running when the bridge opened, but you can still visit this spot by boat - if you have your own.
