About This Access Site
Horseshoe Bend Marina offers a **large, free boat launch ramp** providing reliable access to Center Hill Lake and the Caney Fork River in White County. This is a convenient put-in for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore the Caney Fork watershed. A key advantage of this access point is that the ramp remains **easily accessible even when lake water levels are low**, making it dependable across different seasons and water conditions.
As part of the Center Hill Lake recreation area, Horseshoe Bend Marina serves as a non-reservable, day-use facility. Paddlers should note that most of the Caney Fork River upstream is private property, so planning your route accordingly is important. This marina is one of the more established access points on the lake, making it a practical choice for launching kayaks or canoes to explore the broader Center Hill Lake system.
