Located in Alpine, Pickett County, East Port Marina provides public boat access to the West Fork Obey River in the upper reaches above Dale Hollow Lake. This ramp serves as a good launching point for paddlers and anglers looking to explore the Obey River system, particularly those targeting walleye during seasonal runs. The facility is situated on the river's upper portions, making it an ideal put-in for kayakers and canoeists interested in paddling upstream sections before the water pools into Dale Hollow Lake.
For planning your visit, contact East Port Marina directly at (931) 879-7511 for current conditions, facility details, and any applicable fees. The site is non-reservable for day-use access. Paddlers should be prepared for river conditions typical of upper tributary water—check current water levels and flow conditions before launching, as upper river sections can vary seasonally. The marina location provides convenient access for both day trips and multi-day paddling adventures on this scenic Tennessee waterway.
