About This Access Site
Cedar Knob is a boat ramp access point located in Benton, Marshall County, on the Tennessee River's Kentucky Lake impoundment. This is a developed access site with a boat launch ramp suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to access the expansive reservoir. The nearby Cedar Knob Resort and Marina offers additional amenities including covered slip rentals, fuel, bait, and rental boats and motors if needed.

The calm waters of Kentucky Lake make this an excellent access point for paddlers of all skill levels. The area is well-positioned for exploring the lake's extensive shoreline and is close to several notable recreation areas, including Clarks River National Wildlife Refuge and the broader Land Between the Lakes region. Boaters should note that this is a popular launch area, so arriving early during peak seasons is recommended to ensure smooth access to the ramp.
