About This Access Site
The Danville boat ramp provides access to the Tennessee River section known as Kentucky Lake, a vast reservoir popular with kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. The ramp is located in Stewart, Tennessee, near the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge and Fort Donelson National Battlefield.

Kentucky Lake stretches for 65 miles along the Tennessee River, offering a diversity of paddling and boating opportunities. The lake is generally large and calm, with ample room to explore coves, inlets, and the surrounding wildlife refuge. Paddlers may encounter moderate boat traffic, particularly near the ramp, so exercising caution is advised. The ramp itself appears to be a paved, single-lane design suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats.

While specific hours and fees are not readily available, the Danville access site likely operates during daylight hours and may have associated parking. Paddlers and boaters should check local regulations and be prepared for variable water levels and weather conditions common to this section of the Tennessee River. With its scenic setting and proximity to wildlife viewing areas, the Danville boat ramp provides a convenient launch point to enjoy the recreational bounty of Kentucky Lake.
