Mangan's Foxcliff provides access to Little Clifty Creek and Rough River Lake near Leitchfield in Grayson County. This ramp is best suited for smaller boats, kayaks, and canoes. The access road is somewhat steep and follows an old road bed, with a short turnaround area, so plan accordingly if launching larger vessels or trailers.
The ramp provides entry to Rough River Lake, a 5,100-acre reservoir offering diverse recreational opportunities. Paddlers can explore both the open lake waters and the scenic creek arms. From the Mangan's Foxcliff location, you have good access to the Little Clifty Creek arm of the lake. This is a suitable put-in for day trips or longer paddles depending on water conditions and your skill level.
**Directions:** From Leitchfield, take KY 7 South past the Grayson Lake dam, then turn right onto a gravel road just before the bridge over the Clifty Creek arm. Arrive early during peak seasons, as the limited turnaround space can fill quickly on busy days. This access point is ideal for paddlers seeking a quieter entry point to explore the lake's creek arms and coves.
