Eddyville Ferry Landing

Eddyville Ferry Landing, also known as Eddy Creek Marina, is a public boat access point on Lake Barkley in Lyon County, Kentucky. This is a convenient launch site for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters looking to explore the scenic waters of Lake Barkley and the Cumberland River area. The facility is part of the larger Barkley Lake recreation area and provides straightforward water access in Eddyville.

From this launch, paddlers can explore several small and mid-sized bays, with a popular north route leading through Land Between the Lakes toward Kuttawa Landing Camping Area—a paddling trip requiring approximately 2 hours. The calm, lake-like conditions of Lake Barkley make this site suitable for paddlers of various skill levels. A unique feature of the area is the historic Eddyville Ferry crossing point and views of the Kentucky State Penitentiary (built in 1889) across the water, adding cultural interest to your paddling experience.
