State Park Marina is a full-service boat launch facility located at Falls of Rough on 5,100-acre Rough River Lake in Grayson County, Kentucky. The marina offers a dedicated launching ramp alongside 121 open boat slips, 48 covered slips, and 29 houseboat slips, making it a well-developed access point for various watercraft. The facility is managed as part of Rough River Dam State Park in cooperation with the U.S. Army Council of Engineers, providing a maintained recreational area for water sports enthusiasts.
This is an excellent primary access point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the expansive Rough River Lake. The developed infrastructure means you'll find established facilities and amenities, though note that this is a non-reservable day-use area. Paddlers heading to the tailwater section below the dam or seeking lake-based paddling will appreciate the convenient launch location. For those interested in exploring additional access points, the Axtel boat ramp is located approximately 4 miles east off KY 79.
