The Kelly Creek Boat Ramp provides access to the waters of Lay Lake on the Coosa River in Alpine, Alabama. This boat launch is owned and operated by the Alabama Power Company, which manages the Lay Lake reservoir.
The ramp is suitable for a variety of watercraft, including motorboats, kayaks, and canoes. Lay Lake is a large, man-made reservoir formed by the Lay Dam on the Coosa River. Paddlers can explore the calm, pool-like waters of the lake, as well as access the Coosa River upstream and downstream of the dam.
The Coosa River in this area is a relatively wide, slow-moving river that is popular for recreational boating and fishing. Kayakers and canoeists will find the lake and river provide scenic, peaceful outings, with opportunities to spot wildlife along the shoreline. Before visiting, be sure to check any current regulations or fees associated with using the Kelly Creek Boat Ramp and recreating on Lay Lake.
