About This Access Site
The unnamed boat ramp on the Little Tennessee River in Oak Grove provides access to a substantial river system in western North Carolina. The Little Tennessee River at this location is a large river with significant flow averaging 5,570 cubic feet per second and notable velocity of 5.71 feet per second. With a stream order of 7, this section of river experiences steady current and moderate gradient typical of mountain-fed rivers in the region. Boaters should be aware that the river has a substantial 10.3 foot per mile average gradient and flows through terrain with elevation changes, creating dynamic water conditions.
