About This Access Site
The Iberia Boat Ramp provides access to Nolin River Lake, a popular 2,000+ acre reservoir in Grayson County near the town of Wax, Kentucky. Located in the scenic Cumberland Plateau region, this ramp offers a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the lake and its associated waterways including Rock Creek. The lake is known for excellent boating conditions and maintains one of the lowest drowning rates in Kentucky, making it a safe recreational destination.

**Directions & Amenities:** From Leitchfield, take KY 259 South to Smitty City, then turn left on KY 226 toward Peonia, and right on KY 88 to the Iberia access point. The nearby Tailwater Day Use Area, located below the Nolin River Lake Dam, offers additional facilities including restrooms, picnic tables, and another boat ramp for those interested in tailwater paddling. With proximity to both Mammoth Cave National Park and the scenic Appalachian landscape, this access point serves as a gateway to one of Kentucky's most visited recreational areas.
