About This Access Site
Located on the southwest side of Lake Talquin near the Ochlockonee River Bridge in Leon County, the Bloxham Recreation Area offers a well-maintained boat ramp ideal for launching kayaks, canoes, and powerboats. The ramp provides access to the scenic reservoir formed by the Ochlockonee River. The facility sits on a high bluff and includes a dock, picnic pavilion, restroom facilities, and a fishing pier, making it a convenient base for day trips or group outings.

The area is well-suited for paddlers seeking calm water access, as Lake Talquin is a reservoir environment rather than a flowing river. The recreation area offers ample amenities and parking near the launch, plus a dedicated dock for easier loading and unloading. This makes it an excellent choice for both novice paddlers and those launching larger boats. Nearby camping options are also available within Lake Talquin State Forest for those planning multi-day trips.
