Hazel Creek Boat Ramp

Hazel Creek Boat Ramp is an unpaved gravel ramp located at Cable Cove on Fontana Lake, offering access to paddling and fishing opportunities in the Great Smoky Mountains National Forest.

The ramp is free to use with unpaved parking available, though facilities are limited (restrooms, picnic areas, and camping are located nearby in Cable Cove Park).

From here, paddlers can access Hazel Creek via a short crossing of Fontana Lake, with a 7-mile round-trip paddle to the historic ghost town of Proctor.
