The Toqua boat ramp provides public access to the Little Tennessee River and Tellico Lake in Monroe County, Tennessee. This ramp is located within the Tellico Village community, with limited parking available on-site.
Tellico Lake is a reservoir formed by the Tellico Dam, which was built for flood reduction and navigation rather than power generation. The lake connects to the adjacent Fort Loudoun Reservoir via a short canal, allowing boat access to the broader waterway system.
For paddlers and small boaters, the Toqua ramp offers a convenient put-in point to explore the scenic Little Tennessee River and Tellico Lake. The river is typically slow-moving and navigable, making it well-suited for kayaks, canoes, and small motorized craft. Nearby campgrounds like Jake Best Campground provide overnight options for those seeking to spend more time on the water.
