Eddy Creek Marina is a public boat ramp providing access to Lake Barkley, the Cumberland River impoundment in western Kentucky near Princeton. This is a non-reservable facility ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters launching onto the calm, lake-like waters of Lake Barkley. The ramp is part of a broader recreation area that offers convenient access to this 57,920-acre reservoir known for fishing and scenic paddling.
**Getting There:** From Eddyville, take KY 93 south, turn left on Highway 293, then right on KY 818 to Eddy Creek Road. The facility is located at 37.03528428, -87.97557876 in Lyon County.
**What to Expect:** As a lake impoundment, Lake Barkley offers flatwater paddling with minimal current, making it suitable for all paddling skill levels. The surrounding area includes access to Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area and proximity to Fort Donelson National Military Park, providing opportunities for extended exploration. Before visiting, check current conditions and water levels, and be prepared for variable weather on the open lake.
