TVA owns the land/area.

I certainly wouldn't pull a nice heavy fiberglass rig down there.
I would either launch at Ky Dam Marina, or Rocky Point - Rocky Point is a little closer to Sledd, but not by much.

Nice ramp with courtesy dock, however parking can be limited if it's a nice day out on the weekend.
The KDFWR is working with the TVA and rebuilding the "Idaho" ramp as we speak. The concrete ramp will be done in the next two weeks and a courtesy dock along with some asphalt work will follow.
