Wilkinson Ferry

Wilkinson Ferry is a boat ramp providing access to Kentucky Lake on the Tennessee River in Savannah, Tennessee. This location offers entry to a major waterway with significant water volume and flow characteristics. The Tennessee River at this location is part of a substantial drainage system covering over 40,000 square miles, making it a major regional waterway suitable for various boating activities.

The water body here is Kentucky Lake, a major impoundment of the Tennessee River with relatively calm lake conditions compared to the river's natural state. The lake provides opportunities for recreational boating including kayaking, canoeing, and motorized craft. Given the lake's size and the infrastructure typically associated with such impoundments, this access point serves both casual paddlers and power boaters.

Paddlers should be aware that this is a popular access point on a heavily used waterway. The Tennessee River system supports significant recreational and commercial traffic, so boaters should exercise appropriate caution. Water conditions on Kentucky Lake are generally more stable than free-flowing river sections, making it accessible to paddlers of varying skill levels.
