Located in the 600 block of S Luick Ave on Muncie’s east side, the Barlow Landing Canoe & Kayak Launch is a perfect starting point for your next water adventure. Whether you’re an experienced paddler or just looking for a peaceful escape on the river, this dedicated launch site offers easy access to Muncie’s White River. The launch features a crushed stone ramp that gently slopes down to the riverbank, making it convenient for canoeists and kayakers alike. A designated parking area is available to ensure a smooth experience from the moment you arrive until you’re ready to hit the water.
Barlow Landing is named in honor of John Barlow, a dedicated public servant who spent his 40-year career with the Muncie Sanitary District working tirelessly to preserve the water quality in the area. His legacy lives on through this launch, inviting the community to enjoy the waters he helped protect. Whether you’re exploring the river solo or planning a group outing, Barlow Landing provides a serene entryway to Muncie’s natural beauty.
