The Hokes Bluff boat ramp provides direct access to Neely Henry Lake on the Coosa River in Etowah County, Alabama. This section of the Coosa River is part of a reservoir system, creating a wide, slow-moving body of water popular with kayakers, canoers, and small motorboats.
The boat ramp itself is located within the Hokes Bluff Ferry Park, an 8-acre public recreation area with picnic facilities and nature trails. The ramp provides a paved launch area and a floating dock, making it easy to load and unload paddlers and gear. Ample parking is available near the launch site.
For those exploring the Coosa River by kayak or canoe, the Hokes Bluff access point opens up miles of scenic, calm paddling through the Appalachian foothills. Boaters can also use the ramp to access the broader Neely Henry Lake for fishing, cruising, and water sports. Visitors are advised to check local water levels and weather conditions before launching, as this section of the Coosa can experience fluctuations in flow and water level.
