Neville Bay

Nestled along the scenic Cumberland River in Stewart County, Tennessee, the Neville Bay boat ramp provides access to the expansive waters of Lake Barkley. This public launch site is situated within Peeler Park, offering convenient parking and amenities for paddlers, anglers, and recreational boaters.

The ramp itself is located at mile marker 205 of the Cumberland River, where the waterway transitions into the Lake Barkley impoundment. The bay is fed by Neville Creek, creating a relatively narrow and shallow inlet, especially later in the season. Paddlers can explore the protected coves and inlets of the bay, while power boaters can venture out onto the main body of the lake.

Lake Barkley is part of the Cumberland River system, which includes a series of reservoirs and lakes created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This section of the river is known for its scenic beauty, diverse wildlife, and abundant fishing opportunities. Nearby recreation areas like Cross Creeks National Wildlife Refuge and Fort Donelson National Battlefield add to the area's appeal for outdoor enthusiasts.
