Plank Yard

The Plank Yard boat ramp provides access to the Obey River, which flows into Dale Hollow Lake in Byrdstown, Tennessee. This is a public access site operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as part of the Trooper Island recreation area.

The ramp is suitable for launching canoes, kayaks, and small trailered boats. Nearby campgrounds at Lillydale and Willow Grove provide accommodation options for those looking to explore the Obey River and Dale Hollow Lake. The Obey River above the lake is known for its excellent walleye fishing, with several other access points along its banks. Boaters and anglers should consult lake maps and depth charts to navigate the area safely.

While the Plank Yard site does not have reservable facilities, it offers a convenient launch point to access the scenic Obey River and the larger Dale Hollow Lake. Visitors are encouraged to review any applicable regulations or fees before their visit and to use caution when launching and navigating the waterways.
