Watered Hollow Road

Hurricane Mills boat ramp provides access to the Duck River, a significant Stream Order 7 river in middle Tennessee. The Duck River at this location is a large, flowing waterway with an average discharge of approximately 5,719 cubic feet per second and moderate velocity of 3.31 feet per second. The ramp is situated in Humphreys County near the town of Hurricane Mills, offering access to a river system that spans 284 miles total length with notable elevation changes throughout its course.

Paddlers and boaters using this access point should be aware that the Duck River maintains a consistent moderate current with an average gradient of 3.2 feet per mile. The river's large drainage basin of 3,454 square miles means water levels can fluctuate seasonally, particularly during spring runoff and after heavy rainfall events. The ramp is located relatively far downstream (approximately 394 miles from the river mouth), making this a productive section for various boating activities.

The Hurricane Mills location provides a practical launch point for kayaking, canoeing, and motorized boating on the Duck River. Given the river's size and flow characteristics, paddlers should have at least intermediate skills and be prepared for moving water conditions. The river's substantial width and depth at this location make it suitable for a variety of watercraft, though conditions should be assessed before launching, particularly during high water periods.
