Sawyer Boat Ramp Repaving

Sawyer Boat Ramp, located on Stearns District, provides access to Cumberland River and Lake Cumberland.

Photo: Boat ramp repaving was accomplished with funding through agreement with McCreary County using Title II funds from Secure Rural Schools funding.

Please note that the toilet facilities are closed during the winter season.

The Nashville District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages Lake Cumberland, the second largest lake in the Cumberland River System. The lake provides varied outdoor recreational opportunities for millions of visitors each year. Because of the temperate climate and relatively long recreation season, visitors have many opportunities to fish, hunt, camp, picnic, boat, canoe, hike, and enjoy the outdoors.
