About This Access Site
The Danville boat ramp provides access to the Tennessee River and Kentucky Lake, a vast reservoir stretching across northwest Tennessee. This site is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and small powerboats looking to explore the scenic waterways of the area.
The ramp is located on the banks of the Tennessee River, which forms Kentucky Lake in this region. The river is wide and slow-moving, making for calm, easy paddling and motoring conditions.

Nearby, the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge offers excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing and nature-based recreation along the lake. History buffs may also want to visit the nearby Fort Donelson National Battlefield, site of an important Civil War battle. Overall, the Danville boat ramp provides a convenient access point to enjoy the natural beauty and recreational activities available on this expansive Tennessee River impoundment.
