East Fork

The East Fork boat ramp provides easy access to the East Fork of the Stones River and the waters of J. Percy Priest Lake. This gravel ramp is well-suited for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats. The adjacent parking area offers ample space for loading and unloading gear.

The East Fork of the Stones River is a scenic, meandering waterway that flows into the larger J. Percy Priest Lake. This area is popular with paddlers and anglers due to its varied wildlife and peaceful setting. The river's gentle gradient and moderate flow make it an enjoyable trip for both novice and experienced boaters. Nearby recreation areas like the Tennessee Civil War National Heritage Area and Stones River National Battlefield offer opportunities to explore the region's rich history.

For those seeking a more remote experience, a walk-in bank fishing access site is available along the north side of the Stones River on the Percy Priest Wildlife Management Area. This gravel road access point is located just a few miles east of the I-840 Smyrna exit, providing a quieter alternative to the main boat ramp.
