The North Mouse Creek Boat Ramp provides paddlers and small boaters access to North Mouse Creek and the surrounding Cherokee National Forest. This gravel boat ramp is well-suited for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats.
North Mouse Creek is a peaceful, meandering stream ideal for beginner and intermediate paddlers. The creek is generally shallow and slow-moving, making it an accessible option for those new to paddling. Experienced paddlers may also enjoy the creek's scenic beauty and opportunities to spot local wildlife. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate, so check conditions before your visit.
The boat ramp is located approximately 3.6 miles down Highway 438 E, then 3.5 miles on Parrish Road and 1.3 miles on Lower Lick Creek Road. Parking is available near the ramp. Paddlers should be prepared for a short, easy carry to the water's edge. This access site provides a good starting point to explore North Mouse Creek and the surrounding Cherokee National Forest.
