Pikeville City Lake

Located in Pikeville, Pike County, this access point on the Levisa Fork provides entry to Pikeville City Lake in the heart of eastern Kentucky's coalfield region. The Grapevine Area is part of the broader Fishtrap Lake recreation area, which is surrounded by the steep mountains characteristic of this Appalachian landscape. This setting offers paddlers and boaters scenic views typical of the rugged terrain surrounding the Levisa Fork watershed.

To reach the ramp, take Highway 1426 to Combs Avenue, then turn right at the 3-way stop onto Trivette Drive—the ramp is located near the Agricultural Extension Office. Parking is available at the site. A $5 launch fee applies, with annual passes available for $40. This access point serves as a good option for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore the lake environment, though paddlers should verify current conditions and any seasonal considerations before heading out.
