About This Access Site
Located near Monticello in Wayne County, the Stringer-Rankin boat ramp provides access to Beaver Creek and Lake Cumberland in Kentucky's Cumberland Plateau region. To reach the site, take KY-90 west of Monticello, turn right on KY-1546, then right on Beaver Creek Church Road. This access point is convenient for boaters launching into the broader Lake Cumberland system and serves as a gateway for paddlers exploring Beaver Creek's waters.

The site offers a practical launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters heading onto Lake Cumberland's waters. Two campgrounds operate within 10 miles of the access site—Camp Earl Wallace and Fall Creek Campground (which offers reservations)—making it suitable for multi-day paddling trips. Nearby alternative launches at Twin Oaks and Wolf Creek Marina provide options if you need additional facilities or prefer different sections of the lake.
