Hanging Dog Boat Ramp

Hanging Dog Boat Ramp provides convenient access to Hiwassee Lake with a concrete ramp designed for easy boat launching, ample parking for vehicles and boat trailers, and nearby picnic areas with grills.

The facility is open year-round for day use, though water levels are significantly lower in winter months, making summer the ideal season for boating and water activities.

Note that while the associated campground is permanently closed, the day-use boat launch and recreational areas remain accessible to the public.
