Duckett Mill Park

Duckett Mill Park offers a convenient public boat ramp and access point to the scenic Chattahoochee River and Lake Lanier in Gainesville, Georgia. The three-lane boat ramp and spacious parking area make it easy to launch kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats.

Lake Lanier is a popular destination for water recreation, with over 692 miles of shoreline and crystal-clear, aqua-blue waters nestled in the foothills of the Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains. The lake sees over 11 million visitors annually and is known for its variety of water sports, from fishing and swimming to waterskiing and wakeboarding.
