North Cross Creek

The North Cross Creek boat ramp provides access to the Cumberland River and Lake Barkley in Stewart County, Tennessee. Located just off Indian Mound Road, this concrete ramp is well-suited for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats.

The Cumberland River is a major waterway in this region, flowing through rolling hills and forested areas. Lake Barkley, the impoundment created by a dam on the river, offers ample opportunities for boating, fishing, and wildlife viewing. The ramp sits within the Cross Creeks National Wildlife Refuge, so paddlers and boaters may have the chance to spot birds, deer, and other local fauna.

While the Recreation.gov listing notes that the nearby Dyer's Creek recreation area provides amenities like camping, the North Cross Creek ramp itself does not have any on-site facilities. Visitors should come prepared with any necessary supplies and equipment. Contact the Dover office at 931-232-7724 or the Lake Barkley resource managers at 270-362-4236 for the latest information about this access point.
