Where is the best place to launch from? I would be coming from North of town. We've been to the Buffet concert before on a friends cuddy. They docked at Hooters in Newport, and after a drink and some food we went up the river to the area behind the stage. After the concert, they dropped us back off before they went to their ramp.
And, yes, be careful how much you party we got checked by KY DNR who had a County Sherriff on board. Luckily our operator stayed sober and his stepson, who's also law enforcement was on board. A couple of routine checks, some dept vs dept bantering and all was a good night.
In all, I recommend going, I will be, but be safe, smart and watch out for other boaters.
