Lost Creek boat ramp provides access to Tims Ford Lake on the Elk River in Moore County near Lynchburg, Tennessee. This is a substantial water body formed by damming the Elk River, which is classified as a large river with a drainage area of over 1500 square miles. The Elk River system has significant elevation change and flow volume, making it an important regional waterway for recreation and water management.
Boaters using this access should be aware that while the impounded section at Tims Ford Lake will have calmer conditions than the free-flowing river upstream, the Elk River is a major drainage system with considerable flow rates averaging nearly 2800 cubic feet per second. The lake environment is suitable for various recreational boating activities. The site's location in Moore County places it in central Tennessee's scenic Highland Rim region, known for its natural beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities.
Paddlers and recreational boaters should verify current conditions and any facility details with local management before visiting, as water levels and access conditions can vary seasonally.
