About This Access Site
Fairchild's Park Boat Ramp offers easy access to Lake Seminole, a large reservoir straddling the Georgia-Florida border. The ramp is located within Rays Lake Park, a campground managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This is a popular destination for kayakers, canoeists, and powerboaters seeking to explore the lake's extensive stump fields and grassy coves.

The boat ramp provides a paved launch area suitable for trailered watercraft. Nearby facilities at Rays Lake Park include campsites, picnic areas, and hiking trails. Anglers are drawn to the lake's reputation as one of the top freshwater fishing destinations in the region, targeting bass, crappie, and other species. Paddlers can access serene, wildlife-rich coves and inlets by launching from the ramp. Before your visit, check the park's operating hours and any fees that may apply.
