Yellow Creek

The Yellow Creek Access Site on the Cumberland River-Lake Barkley provides a convenient boat ramp for kayakers, canoeists, and other boaters to access the lake. Located in Cumberland City, Tennessee, this site offers direct access to the Cumberland River and the expansive waters of Lake Barkley.

The ramp is situated along the Cumberland River at approximately mile marker 193, making it a suitable launch point for exploring the lake and its surrounding areas. The Cumberland River, which feeds into Lake Barkley, is a large, navigable waterway that offers ample opportunities for recreational boating, fishing, and wildlife viewing. Paddlers and boaters can expect relatively calm waters and a scenic riverine environment.

For those interested in nearby recreation, the Cross Creeks National Wildlife Refuge, located just a short distance from the Yellow Creek Access Site, provides additional opportunities for nature observation and outdoor activities. The refuge, established in 1962, encompasses the floodplain of the Cumberland River and offers habitats for a variety of wildlife species.
