Songbird Canoe Ramp

Songbird Canoe Access is one of several public access points on the Clinch River tailwater below Norris Dam, making it a convenient put-in location for paddlers exploring the scenic 13-mile stretch.

The access point is located near the Songbird Trail, a popular two-mile loop that offers additional recreational opportunities including fishing from the bank and scenic river views.

Be aware that water levels are controlled by Norris Dam releases, which can reach up to 10,000 CFS when both turbines operate—plan your paddle accordingly and always check the TVA water release schedule before heading out.
