About This Access Site
Sale Creek Marina in Soddy-Daisy offers convenient public access to Chickamauga Lake via a dedicated boat ramp. The facility includes boat slips, launch ramp access, and a picnic area, making it suitable for day trips and longer outings. The marina is known for its quiet, peaceful setting and friendly atmosphere—a good option for both paddlers and motorboats seeking a less-crowded launch point.

Chickamauga Lake is a major impoundment on the Tennessee River system, characterized by steady water flow managed by the upstream Chickamauga Dam and downstream Nickajack Dam. Paddlers should be aware that TVA dam operations can cause water level and current fluctuations. The nearest alternative public ramps are Bennett Lake (8.9 miles downstream at mile marker 432.5) and Hales Bar Marina (mile marker 431.0). This location provides good access to a wide fishing and boating area with relatively gentle conditions typical of a large reservoir system.
