Laurel Bed Lake Boat Ramp provides public access to a 330-acre high-elevation lake (3,600 feet) via two launch points—a concrete ramp near the dam and a graveled launching area midway up the lake—both suitable for kayaks through bass boats with trailer parking available.

Access requires navigating a nearly seven-mile gravel road that may be gated during winter weather; call ahead at 276-783-4860 or 276-944-3434 before winter trips. Gasoline motors are limited to 9.

9 HP, and the lake can become windy and rough, so check weather conditions before launching.
