Buffalo Road provides public boat access to the South Fork Holston River and Boone Lake in Blountville, Sullivan County. This access point is convenient for paddlers and boaters looking to launch into the Boone Lake area, which offers calmer waters compared to the swift sections of the South Fork Holston River upstream. The site's location in Blountville makes it accessible for both day trips and longer paddling adventures on this popular East Tennessee waterway.
This is a straightforward public launch facility suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats. Paddlers should be aware of the transition between the slower lake waters near the access and the faster-moving river sections, depending on which direction you travel. Before visiting, check current water conditions and any seasonal restrictions, as water levels and flow rates on the South Fork Holston can vary significantly. Consider contacting local outfitters or the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency for up-to-date information on conditions and any specific regulations for this access point.
