The Montgomery County Conservation Club boat ramp provides access to the Cumberland River and Lake Barkley in Clarksville, Tennessee. This launch site is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and small recreational boats.
The Cumberland River is a major waterway in this region, flowing from Kentucky into Tennessee. At this location, the river is part of the Lake Barkley impoundment, creating a wide, slow-moving section ideal for paddling and motorized boating. Typical river conditions include a wide, flat pool with minimal current, making for generally easy navigation. Boaters should be aware of the water control structures and any safety restrictions associated with the nearby Cheatham Lock and Dam.
Nearby recreation areas include the Cheatham Wildlife Management Area, which offers additional opportunities for exploring the Cumberland River watershed. Paddlers and boaters can also connect to other segments of the Cumberland River via this launch point, opening up further opportunities for exploration and multi-day trips.
