Coosawattee-Carters Lake Wildlife Management Area

The Coosawattee-Carters Lake Wildlife Management Area provides access to the Coosawattee River and Carters Reregulation Reservoir, part of the Carters Lake project managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This boat ramp, known as the Carters Lake Marina, offers a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats.

The Coosawattee River in this area is a medium-sized river flowing through the scenic Appalachian foothills. The re-regulation pool below the Carters Lake dam can be accessed from the boat ramp, while the river downstream offers opportunities for swift water fishing. Nearby recreation areas include the Carters Lake project, known for its stunning mountain scenery.

Paddlers and boaters should be aware that there are no services or amenities at this access point. The nearest campgrounds are several miles away. Those launching here should come prepared with all necessary gear and supplies.
