About This Access Site
Morgan's Creek is a boat ramp access point on Kentucky Lake, the Tennessee River impoundment in Benton County near Holladay, Tennessee. Kentucky Lake is a massive reservoir created by damming the Tennessee River, making it a calm, navigable water body suitable for a wide range of boating activities. The Tennessee River system drains over 40,000 square miles and is one of the major river systems in the eastern United States, flowing toward the Mississippi River and ultimately to the Gulf of Mexico.

As a major reservoir rather than a flowing river, Kentucky Lake offers stable water conditions ideal for recreational boating, fishing, and paddling. The water body has a significant drainage area and maintains substantial flow, which supports diverse fish populations and recreational opportunities. The relatively flat pool elevation typical of a lake impoundment makes this an accessible destination for paddlers of varying experience levels. Morgan's Creek provides a public access point for launching boats onto this extensive water resource.
