About This Access Site
Flint Creek 31 Boat Ramp provides access to Wheeler Lake, part of the Tennessee River system in northern Alabama. This concrete boat ramp is located just off U.S. Highway 31, making it a convenient put-in for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats.

The ramp leads directly into the calm, wide waters of Flint Creek, which flows into the larger Wheeler Lake. This section of the Tennessee River is known for its diverse wildlife, including waterfowl and bald eagles that frequent the nearby Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge. Paddlers can explore the tranquil coves and inlets of the creek, while boaters have access to the broader expanse of Wheeler Lake.

The Flint Creek 31 access site offers a paved parking area and is well-suited for launching hand-carried watercraft like kayaks and canoes. Anglers also frequent this location to fish the abundant bass, crappie, and other game fish found in the lake. Whether you're seeking a peaceful paddle or a day of recreational boating, the Flint Creek 31 Boat Ramp provides a well-maintained entry point to this scenic section of the Tennessee River watershed.
