About This Access Site
Morgan Falls Park offers a convenient boat ramp access point to the Chattahoochee River, a major waterway in the Georgia piedmont region. The ramp is located below the Morgan Falls Dam, providing access to a 3-mile stretch of the river between the dam and Bowmans Island.
The Chattahoochee River is a large, high-gradient waterway, measuring nearly 435 miles long with an average flow of over 20,000 cubic feet per second. Paddlers and boaters should be aware of the river's power and swift currents, especially during periods of high flow or rainfall upstream.
The park provides basic amenities like a fishing pier, but does not have any services or facilities specifically for recreational boaters. Paddlers and small craft users should plan ahead, bring necessary safety gear, and be prepared for the challenges of navigating this section of the Chattahoochee River. Those seeking a more developed access point may want to consider the Chattahoochee River Park or Jones Bridge ramp further north on the river.
