There are three marinas in the Yankeetown
area that serve boaters, power and sail, and fishermen. In
addition there are several local boat ramps. There is a free
salt water County ramp at the extreme West end of SR 40 with
plenty of parking. There is a fresh water city boat ramp in
Yankeetown that is being completely rebuilt with a dock, picnic
tables and a fishing pier, but with limited parking. It located
on the River directly West of the Coast Guard station. There
is a small boat ramp on the River at the end of Elkins Avenue
in Inglis without absolutely no parking. Of course, the marinas
offer considerably more that just access to the water. Our
marinas are listed below:
