Happy Hollow Boat Ramp is one of the most popular access points on the Caney Fork River, located just a few minutes off I-40 (exit 268) near the DeKalb County line in Putnam County.

The ramp serves as an ideal midpoint for paddling trips and is accessible from Route 96; note that the small parking lot fills up quickly on busy weekends.

When water levels are low (no dam releases), exposed gravel flats allow wading upstream and downstream to explore the river, but high water from dam releases makes access by boat necessary.
