Located about 6 miles south of Pineville in Bell County, the Cannon Creek Lake boat ramp provides access to this 218-acre impoundment. The ramp is a small, single launch facility suitable for kayaks, canoes, and other non-motorized watercraft. **Note: Power boats are prohibited on Cannon Creek Lake**, making it an ideal destination for paddlers seeking a quieter, undisturbed paddling experience. The lake was completed in 1972 and serves as the water source for Pineville's municipal water system.
**Access & Directions:** From Pineville, head south on US 25E for about 7 miles, then turn right on Highway 3486 and follow signs to Cannon Creek Lake Road. Basic amenities including parking, picnic tables, and a picnic shelter are available at the ramp. The site offers year-round access and free parking.
**Nearby Options:** Wilderness Road Campground (reservable) is located within 10 miles, and Cumberland Gap National Historical Park is in the area for additional exploration. Given the lake's modest size and no-motorboat policy, expect calm conditions ideal for beginner to intermediate paddlers.
