As others have stated it is VERY dangerous up on that end of the lake.

The old bridge in the bend just down river from the ramp has sunk many a boat over the years, not to mention the lower units it has ruined.

When you get above the ramp it is not very safe at any level unless you know the river up there. I live near there and I wouldn't take a bass rig up there and I have boated and walked it all the way from there to KY-100 bridge and beyond over the years. It changes some every year due to the current. Large logs get caught up on things just under the surface and make it a gamble at best.

Do as you wish but make sure your insurance is paid up and wear your life jacket at ALL times.
