The Neely Henry boat access site provides convenient put-in and take-out options for kayakers, canoeists, and other small boaters on the Coosa River. The site features two concrete boat ramps that can accommodate multiple boats launching at the same time. There is ample parking available for vehicles and trailers.
The Coosa River at this location is part of the Neely Henry Lake, a 11,235-acre reservoir formed by the Neely Henry Dam. This section of the Coosa River is generally calm and navigable for small craft, making it well-suited for recreational paddling and motorized boating. Paddlers can explore the lake and surrounding shoreline, while power boaters have access to open water.
The Neely Henry access site is conveniently located near several restaurants and other amenities in the town of Ohatchee. The nearby Freedom Riders National Monument also provides an opportunity to learn about an important chapter in the U.S. civil rights movement. Whether launching a kayak, canoe, or small motorboat, the Neely Henry access site offers a well-equipped facility for enjoying the Coosa River.
