Willow Point Marina

Willow Point Marina provides boat ramp access to Fort Loudoun Lake via the Little River in Knoxville. This access point is ideal for paddlers and boaters looking to explore a large, well-established lake system in the Knox County area. The facility appears to be a marina-type operation, suggesting amenities beyond basic ramp access, though specific facilities and services should be confirmed directly with the marina.

The Little River feeds into Fort Loudoun Lake, a substantial 15,000-acre impoundment of the Little Tennessee River. As a large river system (Stream Order 7), the Little River supports significant water flow and is manageable for most recreational boaters and kayakers. However, paddlers should be aware that the river has a notable 16.2 ft/mile average gradient upstream, indicating faster current and rougher conditions as you travel away from the lake proper. Most recreational paddling in this area will take place on the calmer lake waters rather than upstream sections.

For planning your visit, contact Willow Point Marina directly to confirm current ramp conditions, operating hours, parking availability, and any applicable fees. Given the size and popularity of Fort Loudoun Lake, this location may see moderate to heavy use during peak seasons.
