About This Access Site
The Rose Trail Boat Ramp provides easy access to Pickwick Lake on the Tennessee River. This is a popular spot for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats looking to explore the scenic lake and surrounding areas.

The boat ramp is located directly off the Riverton Rose Trail in Colbert County, Alabama. The Tennessee River at this section is part of the Pickwick Lake reservoir, which is a large impoundment with a surface area of over 43,000 acres. The current is generally mild, making for pleasant and safe paddling conditions.

Paddlers can launch their kayaks or canoes directly from the paved ramp and explore the lake's coves, islands, and shoreline. Boaters with small motors can also use the ramp to access the wider expanse of the lake. No specific details on hours or fees are available, so paddlers and boaters should plan accordingly. Overall, the Rose Trail Boat Ramp provides a convenient access point to enjoy the scenic beauty and recreational opportunities of Pickwick Lake.
