About This Access Site
The Elk River County Park boat ramp provides direct access to the Elk River in Limestone County, Alabama. This large river has a total length of 175.5 miles, an elevation drop of over 2,100 feet, and an average flow of nearly 2,800 cubic feet per second. The river's size and moderately swift 4 ft/sec average velocity make it a popular destination for paddlers and boaters.
The boat ramp is located on the west shore of the Elk River, just north of the Highway 72 bridge. The concrete 2-lane ramp and courtesy dock make launching your kayak, canoe, or small motorboat relatively easy. Paved parking is available on-site. Keep in mind that a permit is required to use this access point.
For those looking to explore the Elk River by water, this county park ramp offers a convenient put-in location. The river's significant length, large drainage area, and steady flow make it well-suited for day trips or multi-day paddling adventures. Paddlers should be prepared for the river's size and moderate current.
