Fishing Creek (SR79) Boat Ramp provides access to the 72,000-acre Clarks Hill Lake, part of the J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir along the Georgia-South Carolina border. This ramp offers a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats to explore the lake and its surrounding forests and shoreline.
The ramp is located on Fishing Creek, which flows into the larger reservoir. Clarks Hill Lake is known for its scenic beauty and abundant fishing opportunities, with no motor restrictions. Boaters and paddlers can use either a Georgia or South Carolina fishing license when on the lake.
Several other public boat ramps can be found around the lake, providing access to different areas. Paddlers should be prepared for potentially windy conditions on the open water. The reservoir's size, depth, and mix of developed and natural shoreline create a diverse recreational experience for those looking to enjoy the outdoors on the water.
