Lazaretto Creek Boat Ramp

The Lazaretto Creek Marina offers a convenient public boat ramp for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters looking to access the calm, protected waters of Lazaretto Creek. The ramp features three launch lanes, a floating dock, and ample free parking for vehicles and trailers.

Lazaretto Creek is a tidal estuary that flows into the Savannah River near the historic Fort Pulaski National Monument. The creek provides easy access to the surrounding marshes, islands, and open waters of the Savannah River estuary. Its protected, relatively shallow waters make it well-suited for small craft like kayaks, canoes, and flats boats. Paddlers can explore the creek itself or venture out into the broader estuarine system, keeping an eye out for the abundant local wildlife.

The Lazaretto Creek Marina boat ramp is open from dawn to dusk, seven days a week, and there are no fees to use the facility. Boaters and paddlers should exercise caution when launching and be prepared for tidal currents, changing water levels, and potentially shallow conditions in some areas. Overall, this access point offers a great starting point to discover the natural beauty and rich history of Georgia's coastal waterways.
