    Overview

    Eddyville Riverport & Industrial Development serves as a critical logistics hub in Western Kentucky, uniquely positioned on Lake Barkley along the Cumberland River near the confluence with the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. Established in 1976, the Riverport is the only public riverport on the Cumberland River in Kentucky, bolstering the economic infrastructure of the region. Its strategic location allows efficient access to both domestic and international markets, supported by direct connections via water, road, and rail. The port is adjacent to the Paducah and Louisville Railroad (P&L) mainline, providing Class II service with interoperability with Class I railroads, and is within easy reach of major interstates such as I-24 and I-69. The Eddyville Industrial Park offers over 100 acres of build-ready land, drawing new industrial investments and supporting local business growth. As an integral part of the regional supply chain, the port specializes in bulk commodities and provides vital support for manufacturing, agriculture, and distribution operations throughout the southeastern United States.
