Mckellar Lake Access

McKellar Lake Access provides boat launch facilities via Martin Luther King, Jr. Riverside Park with an $8. 00 ramp fee, offering convenient access to this 4,100-acre man-made lake located just minutes from downtown Memphis.

The lake features abundant industrial structures, pylons, and submerged habitat that create excellent conditions for recreational boating and fishing.

Note: Due to the lake's location in a heavily industrialized area near Presidents Island, catch-and-release fishing is recommended.
