The Highway 225 boat ramp provides public access to the Coosawattee River in Gordon County, Georgia. This section of the Coosawattee offers a diverse mix of river habitats, transitioning from the clear, cool upper stretches to the more turbid lower portion typical of a larger river system.
The boat ramp is well-suited for launching small watercraft like kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats. Paddlers should be aware that public access points are limited along this part of the Coosawattee, so the Highway 225 site may be one of the only options to easily access the river. After launching, boaters can explore upstream or downstream, taking in the scenic Appalachian mountain views. Those continuing downstream can take out at the Ridgeway Recreation Area, which has another boat ramp and amenities.
Overall, the Highway 225 boat ramp is a valuable access point for those looking to experience the Coosawattee River by small boat or paddle craft. Its location provides a gateway to both the river's upper and lower sections, allowing for a variety of recreational activities and river experiences.
