Dodge Lake Landing provides access to the Ocmulgee River, a large river system (Stream Order 7) that spans 256 miles and drains over 6,000 square miles of Georgia. Located in Rhine, Telfair County, this access point serves boaters exploring a significant waterway with an average flow of about 6,256 cubic feet per second. The Ocmulgee River in this region features a moderate gradient of 1.7 feet per mile with an average velocity around 3 feet per second, making it navigable for various boat types though conditions can vary seasonally.
The river's elevation drops substantially from its headwaters to its mouth, with this section sitting at a relatively low elevation of approximately 25 meters. Paddlers and boaters should be aware that this is a working river system with currents that can fluctuate based on water releases and seasonal rainfall. The Ocmulgee is an important waterway for recreation and wildlife, flowing through rural Georgia before eventually joining the Altamaha River system.
Access at Dodge Lake Landing allows entry to this major river corridor. Boaters should plan accordingly for the river's current and plan trips based on water levels and flow conditions. This section of the Ocmulgee offers opportunities for various water activities, though proper preparation and awareness of river conditions are essential for safety.
