Gravel Pit

The Gravel Pit boat ramp provides access to the Tennessee River and Kentucky Lake in Springville, Tennessee. This public access point is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats. The ramp is located on the shores of the expansive Kentucky Lake, which is part of the Tennessee River system.

Kentucky Lake is a popular destination for recreational boating, fishing, and other water sports. The lake stretches for over 160 miles along the Tennessee River and is known for its diverse aquatic habitats and abundant fish populations.

The Gravel Pit access point offers a convenient launch site to access this scenic section of the Tennessee River watershed.

While specific details on hours of operation or fees are not available, the boat ramp appears to be open year-round based on the available information. Paddlers and boaters should use caution when launching and be prepared for potential wind and wave conditions on the open waters of Kentucky Lake. The nearby Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge also provides additional recreational opportunities for those interested in wildlife viewing, hiking, or other outdoor activities.
