Yamacraw Boat Ramp

Yamacraw Boat Ramp provides access to the Big South Fork Cumberland River with a single unpaved launch lane suitable for light trailerable recreational boats.

The ramp is free to use and available year-round 24 hours, though it offers minimal amenities with unpaved parking and no facilities such as restrooms, courtesy dock, or handicap access.

This location serves as one of several developed access points along the scenic Big South Fork, which features world-class whitewater and fishing opportunities.
