Black Lake

Black Lake in the Doug Travis Wildlife Management Area provides boat ramp access for paddlers and boaters in the Columbus area of Carlisle County. This site serves as a convenient launch point for exploring the water body and is one of the more accessible boat ramps in the wildlife management area.

The Black Lake ramp accommodates various watercraft including kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. This location is particularly suitable for paddlers looking to access the wildlife management area's waters. As with any launch site, paddlers should inspect conditions before launching and ensure they have appropriate safety equipment and skills for the water conditions they'll encounter.

For current information about access hours, seasonal restrictions, or facility amenities, contact the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. The site's proximity to Columbus makes it a practical access point for both day trips and longer paddling adventures in the region.
