Perryville Marina is a boat ramp providing access to Kentucky Lake at the 135 mile marker on the Tennessee River, located in Decatur County near Parsons, Tennessee. This launch offers convenient access to the lower end of Kentucky Lake and the main Tennessee River channel. The facility is well-positioned for paddlers and boaters looking to explore this major waterway.
The Tennessee River is a substantial waterway—a major river system spanning over 650 miles with significant flow averaging nearly 70,000 cubic feet per second. At this location on Kentucky Lake, paddlers will encounter a wide, lake-like environment with relatively gentle conditions compared to the river's upstream sections. The area's low gradient (0.8 ft/mile average) means minimal current in the lake pool. This makes Perryville Marina suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters of varying skill levels seeking to access a major river system.
