About This Access Site
Mountain Cove Marina in Sevierville offers a convenient boat launch on Douglas Lake, the impounded section of the French Broad River. The facility provides free boat launch access and is well-suited for various watercraft, from kayaks and canoes to pontoons and recreational watercraft. The marina also offers pontoon rentals and is a popular spot for tubing and rafting, making it a hub for casual water recreation in the scenic foothills near Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.

The French Broad River is a major waterway with substantial flow (averaging 7,590 cubic feet per second) and a moderate gradient of 6.5 feet per mile. While this section is impounded as Douglas Lake, paddlers should be aware of the river's significant volume and current characteristics. The area is ideal for recreational paddling, fishing, and family outings in a mountain setting.
