About This Access Site
Coburn Boat Ramp on Pickwick Lake in Margerum, Alabama provides access to this wide, slow-moving section of the Tennessee River. The ramp is a simple concrete launch suitable for small boats, canoes, and kayaks. There are no additional amenities on-site, so paddlers should come prepared with their own gear and supplies.

Pickwick Lake is a large reservoir spanning the Tennessee-Alabama border, formed by the Pickwick Dam downstream. The lake's broad, placid waters are ideal for leisurely paddling and motorboating. Shoreline development is minimal, providing a peaceful natural setting. Kayakers and canoeists may spot wildlife like herons, egrets, and bald eagles along the shoreline. The boat ramp offers a convenient launch point to explore this scenic stretch of the Tennessee River.
