Short Creek Boat Ramp, located on Alabama Highway 227, provides kayak launch access directly behind the ranger station at the end of the fishing dock.

This facility serves as a starting point for leisurely Class I paddles into Short Creek and toward Dry Creek, where shallow waters and sandbars create excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing including turtles and Red-Wing Blackbirds.

Amenities include restroom facilities at the Short Creek Ranger Station and nearby camping options at Lake Guntersville State Park.
