The Highway 58 Bridge boat ramp provides convenient access to the Hiwassee River and Chickamauga Lake in Georgetown, Tennessee. This four-lane concrete ramp is located at the north end of the bridge, with paved parking available.
The Hiwassee River is a scenic, class I waterway that flows into Chickamauga Lake, part of the Tennessee River system. From the Highway 58 access point, it's approximately 6 miles to the Tennessee River. The river features little aquatic vegetation, making for easy paddling and motorboat navigation. Nearby, the Cherokee National Forest offers additional outdoor recreation opportunities.
This access site is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. Paddlers should be aware of potential exposure to wind and waves on the open waters of Chickamauga Lake. Overall, the Highway 58 Bridge ramp provides a reliable put-in for exploring the Hiwassee River and larger lake system.
