About This Access Site
Harbor Lights Marina, located at 3001 Kings Point Rd in Chattanooga, provides full-service boat access to Chickamauga Lake on the Tennessee River. This is a developed facility offering boat rentals, storage, and docking services, making it suitable for both day trips and extended outings. The marina's location on the scenic lake provides easy access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboat operators looking to explore the shoreline or paddle to nearby historic Chattanooga.

Chickamauga Lake is a major impoundment on the Tennessee River, a large river system with significant flow (averaging nearly 70,000 cubic feet per second). Paddlers should be prepared for a substantial body of water with notable current and come equipped for variable conditions. The lake offers opportunities for both peaceful cove exploration and longer-distance cruising. Nearby Cherokee National Forest provides additional recreational context for the region. For detailed navigation information and lake-specific charts, commercial maps are available through Atlantic Mapping, Inc.

As a full-service marina, Harbor Lights likely offers amenities beyond basic ramp access—contact the facility directly for specific information about hours of operation, fees, and current services available to paddlers and boaters.
