This boat ramp provides access to Tellico Lake, a Tennessee Valley Authority impoundment on the Little Tennessee River in Loudon County. The lake is a large water body created by damming, offering generally calm conditions ideal for various types of boating. The site is located at coordinates 35.77900687, -84.24860428 and serves as a convenient launch point for exploring the reservoir and surrounding water recreation areas.
Tellico Lake sits within a watershed that drains 2621 square miles, with the Little Tennessee River system representing a major tributary network. The elevation of this section is approximately 225 meters, typical of the reservoir's pool level. Paddlers and motorboaters using this access should expect relatively protected water conditions compared to the faster-moving river channels upstream. The infrastructure appears designed to accommodate typical recreational boating patterns for the region.
Boaters should check current conditions and any seasonal restrictions before launching. As with all TVA reservoir access points, water levels can fluctuate seasonally, potentially affecting launch ease. The site's proximity to the main lake pool makes it suitable for day trips, fishing expeditions, and recreational boating of various types.
