Cochrane Boat Ramp

The Cochrane Boat Ramp provides access to the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, a navigable river system that connects the Tennessee River to the Gulf of Mexico. This is a public boat launch site operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The ramp is located on Lower Cedar Creek, which flows into the wider Tombigbee River. This part of the waterway is generally calm and slow-moving, making it well-suited for kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats. The river tends to have ample water depth, though water levels can fluctuate seasonally. Paddlers should be aware of barge and boat traffic common on this major commercial waterway.

Amenities at the site include the boat ramp itself, though there is limited parking and no other developed facilities. Visitors should come prepared with any supplies or equipment needed for their outing. Additional information about recreation along the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway can be found on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers website.
