About This Access Site
Mousetail Landing is a boat ramp providing access to Kentucky Lake on the Tennessee River in Perry County, Tennessee. This is a major waterway system with significant flow and depth, suitable for various recreational boating activities. The Tennessee River at this location is part of a large drainage system that eventually flows to the Gulf of Mexico, approximately 654 miles downstream from this access point.

Kentucky Lake is a major impoundment on the Tennessee River system, creating a large reservoir-style water body that is generally calmer than the free-flowing sections of the river. Paddlers and boaters using this access should be prepared for potential motorboat traffic, as the reservoir supports various recreational uses. The water conditions here are typical of a large reservoir lake, with relatively stable water levels compared to free-flowing river sections.
