About This Access Site
Fish Tale Marina is a boat ramp access point on Lake Oconee, the impounded section of the Oconee River in Putnam County, Georgia. This location provides access to a large reservoir environment rather than flowing river conditions, making it suitable for a variety of water activities. The lake setting offers calmer water conditions compared to the natural river channel, though boaters should be aware of the substantial drainage area (5,275 square miles) that feeds this system.

The Oconee River system is a major waterway in the Southeast, classified as a large river (Stream Order 7) with significant flow characteristics. While the specific details about Fish Tale Marina's amenities are not provided in the available data, typical marina facilities often include parking, boat launching infrastructure, and may offer additional services. Paddlers and boaters using this access point should be prepared for lake conditions and potential boat traffic common at marina locations.

The elevation change across the entire Oconee River system is substantial (435 feet total), though at this specific lake location the water is impounded. Boaters should check current conditions and any local regulations before launching, as lake levels can fluctuate seasonally.
