The Stark Knob boat ramp provides easy access to the Cumberland River and the Old Hickory Reservoir. This popular recreation area is located in Hendersonville, Tennessee and is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The ramp is well-suited for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats. The reservoir offers a variety of paddling opportunities, from calm coves to more open stretches of water. Paddlers can explore quieter sections of the lake or venture out to the main body. The Cumberland River itself is a large, navigable river, though its character and flow may vary depending on water levels.
Nearby recreation areas like J. Percy Priest Lake and the Rockland Recreation Area offer additional amenities and access points for boaters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors are encouraged to check local conditions and regulations before launching to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience on the water.
