About This Access Site
Lake Olmstead Boat Ramp
Located in Augusta, Georgia, the Lake Olmstead boat ramp provides access to Raes Creek and the scenic Lake Olmstead. This 24-hour public launch site is a convenient option for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats.

The ramp itself is concrete and suitable for launching a variety of watercraft. Nearby parking and restrooms are also available on-site. While specific fees or hours of operation are not listed, the ramp appears to be open for public use around the clock.

Lake Olmstead is a peaceful, calm water body, making it well-suited for paddling and fishing. Raes Creek, which flows into the lake, offers a serene natural setting to explore by boat. Boaters and paddlers should be aware of the creek's typically slow, gentle current. The Augusta Canal National Heritage Area is also located nearby, providing opportunities for further recreation and sightseeing along the waterways.
