The Docks

The Docks boat ramp provides convenient access to Guntersville Lake on the Tennessee River near Scottsboro, Alabama. This is a basic launch site with one stationary dock, security lighting, but no restrooms or other amenities.

Guntersville Lake is a large impoundment of the Tennessee River, offering over 69,000 acres of navigable waters. The lake is known for its scenic coves, wooded shorelines, and diverse wildlife. It's a popular destination for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. The lake's depth, size, and slower current make it well-suited for recreational paddling, though boaters should be aware of wind and occasional boat traffic.

The Docks access point is located off Alabama Highway 35, just north of the town of Section. It provides a simple, no-frills launch option for those looking to explore Guntersville Lake. Paddlers and boaters should plan accordingly, as there are no restrooms or other amenities at this site. Nearby recreation areas like Sauta Cave National Wildlife Refuge and Fern Cave National Wildlife Refuge offer additional opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts in the region.
