About This Access Site
McRae's Landing provides access to the Ocmulgee River, a large river system in south-central Georgia that drains 6030 square miles of watershed. The river in this area flows with an average velocity of 3.08 feet per second and maintains a moderate gradient of 1.7 feet per mile. At Lumber City, paddlers will encounter the characteristic features of a mature river system with an average flow of over 6000 cubic feet per second, making it suitable for various watercraft types.

The Ocmulgee River at this section offers opportunities for boating and paddling activities. The river's large stream order and steady flow make it navigable for experienced paddlers and motorboat operators. The site's location in Telfair County provides access to a scenic corridor through the coastal plains region. Paddlers should be aware of the river's current and maintain awareness of changing water conditions, particularly after significant rainfall events that could increase flow rates.
