The East Diversion boat ramp provides access to the Coosa River where it flows through Weiss Lake in Cherokee County, Alabama. This is a basic boat launch site well-suited for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats.
The Coosa River in this area is a broad, slow-moving waterway that is part of the larger Weiss Lake reservoir system. While the launch site is relatively isolated, it offers a convenient access point for those wishing to explore this stretch of the Coosa River. Paddlers and boaters should be prepared for potential wind and wave action on the lake, and be mindful of boat traffic, especially near the power plant located nearby.
No additional amenities or services are provided at this launch site, so paddlers and boaters should come prepared with all necessary gear, safety equipment, and supplies for their excursion. The boat ramp may experience fluctuating water levels depending on rainfall and dam operations, so users should exercise caution when launching and loading their craft.
