Concord Marina

Concord Marina is a full-service facility located on the south shore of Fort Loudoun Lake in Knoxville, offering easy access ramps ideal for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The marina features an on-site launch ramp, six fuel pumps, gated security, and additional amenities including wet and dry storage, pump-out service, boat slips with electrical hookups (30 and 50 amp), boat rentals, and lakeside dining. This is a convenient choice for paddlers seeking a well-maintained launch point with comprehensive support services.

Fort Loudoun Lake is a major impoundment on the Tennessee River system, a substantial waterway with an average flow of nearly 70,000 cubic feet per second. As a Class 9 stream, the Tennessee River represents a significant body of water with considerable current and drainage from a 40,000+ square-mile watershed. Paddlers should be prepared for potential wake and current conditions typical of a major river system, and should check current water conditions before launching, especially if planning to paddle downstream toward the main channel.
