About This Access Site
The Pride Station Boat Ramp provides direct access to Pickwick Lake, a vast reservoir along the Tennessee River. This launch site is well-suited for both kayakers and small motorboats, offering a gentle slope and ample space to load and unload gear.

Pickwick Lake is a popular destination for recreational boating, fishing, and water sports. The lake's expansive size and relatively calm waters make it an excellent choice for paddlers looking to explore the area's scenic shorelines and coves. Experienced kayakers may wish to venture further upstream or downstream on the Tennessee River, which flows through the lake, though caution is advised due to the river's size and variable current.

Whether you're casting a line, cruising along the lake, or simply enjoying a peaceful paddle, the Pride Station Boat Ramp is a convenient and accessible launch point for your water-based activities on Pickwick Lake. Be sure to check local conditions and regulations before setting out, and always prioritize safety when enjoying this picturesque stretch of the Tennessee River.
