Morris Landing

Morris Landing provides access to the Altamaha River, one of Georgia's major river systems. The Altamaha is a substantial waterway with an average flow of over 14,000 cubic feet per second and serves as a significant drainage system covering nearly 14,000 square miles. The river in this section flows at a moderate velocity of approximately 3.45 feet per second with a gentle gradient, making it suitable for various types of watercraft.

This access point on the Altamaha River in Appling County offers boaters and paddlers entry to a major river system that eventually flows to the Atlantic Ocean, roughly 134 miles downstream from this location. The river's substantial size and consistent flow make it a viable waterway for motorboats, canoes, and kayaks. Paddlers should be aware that the Altamaha is a flowing river system rather than a still-water lake, so current conditions and water level variations typical of a major river should be expected.

The site's proximity to Appling County in southeast Georgia places it in the lower coastal plain region where the terrain is relatively flat. This section of the Altamaha maintains the characteristics of a major river with established banks and navigation channels suitable for recreational use.
