About This Access Site
The Gordon Boat Ramp provides easy access to the Chattahoochee River, a major waterway in the Southeast. This launch site is located along the river in Gordon, Alabama, with ample parking available.
The Chattahoochee River is a substantial, high-flow river spanning over 400 miles, with an average gradient of 7.7 feet per mile. As a headwater stream, it originates high in the mountains and can experience swift currents, especially during periods of high rainfall. Paddlers and small boaters will find the river navigable, but should exercise caution, especially in the upper reaches where rapids and shoals are more common.
The boat ramp itself offers a convenient put-in for kayaks, canoes, and small motorized craft. While no specific hours or fees are listed, the site is generally open from sunrise to sunset, allowing users to plan full-day trips on the river. Nearby recreation areas like George W. Andrews Lake provide additional opportunities for water-based activities along the Chattahoochee.
