New Johnsonville

New Johnsonville provides access to Kentucky Lake, the impoundment section of the Tennessee River in Humphreys County. This is a major waterway with significant flow volume averaging nearly 70,000 cubic feet per second, making it suitable for various vessel types including motorboats, kayaks, and canoes. The Tennessee River system is one of the largest river drainages in the eastern United States, and at this location you are on a substantial lake environment rather than a flowing river section.

The area around New Johnsonville offers access to a major recreational waterway. Kentucky Lake stretches for considerable distances and provides opportunities for both day use and extended paddling. Given the size and flow characteristics of this water body, boaters should be prepared for potential boat traffic from larger vessels and motorcraft. The elevation and drainage patterns indicate this is a well-established navigation corridor.

Paddlers and boaters using this access should be aware that while this is a lake environment, the underlying Tennessee River system maintains significant water movement and flow. Standard safety precautions for motorized waterways apply, including life jackets and attention to weather conditions. The location provides gateway access to an extensive water recreation area across Humphreys County.
