Bringing your own boat to Kentucky Lake or Lake Barkley? First things first: you’ve got to get it in the water! Fortunately, there are plenty of boat ramps scattered around both lakes, including public access points, marina ramps and smaller launches tucked away in bays and coves. Our interactive Boat Ramp Finder makes it easy to search for launch locations and find a convenient spot to start your day on the lake. Spend less time looking for a ramp and more time putting that boat to good use.
