The Long Island boat ramp provides convenient access to the Tennessee River - Guntersville Lake for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters. Located in Stevenson, Alabama, the ramp sits on the east bank of the river, just west of Alabama Highway 227.
The Tennessee River in this area is a wide, slow-moving reservoir known as Guntersville Lake. This section of the river is over 1 mile wide and approximately 150 miles long, offering ample opportunities for exploration by paddle craft. The water is generally calm and navigable for small boats, though paddlers should be aware of potential wakes from larger vessels.
Nearby recreation areas include the Russell Cave National Monument, an important archaeological site that preserves evidence of prehistoric cultures in the Southeast. Paddlers may also want to consider exploring the scenic Guntersville State Park, located just a short drive from the boat ramp access point.
