International Harbor is a public boat ramp providing access to Gallagher Creek and Fort Loudoun Lake in Friendsville, Blount County. This is a convenient launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters exploring the creek and the broader lake system in East Tennessee.
Fort Loudoun Lake is a large, relatively calm impoundment on the Tennessee River system, making it suitable for paddlers of varying skill levels. Gallagher Creek offers a more intimate paddling experience than the main lake, with opportunities to explore a tributary environment. As one of multiple established access points around the lake, International Harbor provides a traditional boat ramp facility for launching small watercraft.
For current information about specific amenities (restrooms, parking, dock conditions), water conditions, or any access fees, contact local TWRA (Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency) offices or check the interactive TWRA boat ramp map for Fort Loudoun Lake. Check weather and water conditions before launching, as conditions can vary seasonally.
