Fort McAllister Historic Park (Savage Island)

The Fort McAllister Historic Park boat ramp provides access to the tidal waters of Redbird Creek, a small tributary of the Ogeechee River. This serene setting among live oaks and salt marsh makes it a popular spot for kayaking, canoeing, and small motorboat access. The boat ramp is located approximately 1.5 miles from the park entrance and office.

The park offers additional amenities like camping, fishing, and nature trails to explore the surrounding marshes and forests. For paddlers, the tidal creek offers a peaceful, protected waterway to explore, with opportunities to spot wildlife like herons, egrets, and dolphins. Boaters should be aware of the tidal influence and plan their trip accordingly. Nearby recreation areas like the Wassaw National Wildlife Refuge and Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary provide further opportunities for coastal exploration.
