About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** Four Mile is a boat ramp facility located on the Cumberland River in Bell County, Kentucky, approximately four miles upstream from Wolf Creek Dam. The site is accessed via Kentucky State Highway 90 and State Road 558 (an asphalt road), and includes parking for vehicles and trailers.

**Paddling Conditions:** This section of the Cumberland River features flat water as it enters the upper reaches of Lake Cumberland. The area is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore the calm water near the dam. Nearby, Cumberland Gap National Historical Park offers additional outdoor recreation opportunities in the region.

**Planning Your Visit:** Before heading out, confirm current access conditions and any applicable fees, as facility operations and policies can change seasonally. The site's proximity to Wolf Creek Dam makes it a convenient launching point for day trips on the calm upper river sections.
