About This Access Site
Jacks Creek is a medium-sized whitewater stream located in Morgan County, Georgia, offering 22.33 miles of paddling opportunity with a total elevation drop of 347 feet. This access point serves as a takeout location with parking available, making it suitable for paddlers planning shuttle runs on the creek. The stream features a moderate average gradient of 15.5 feet per mile and maintains an average flow of 83.64 cubic feet per second, indicating consistent water conditions for whitewater recreation.

As a Stream Order 4 waterway, Jacks Creek drains a 59 square mile watershed and flows with an average velocity of 2.15 feet per second. The creek originates as a headwater stream relatively close to its source, giving it the character typical of upper-watershed streams with potentially technical features and scenic surroundings. Paddlers should be prepared for the creek's gradient and current, particularly given the moderate slope rating.

This takeout location is primarily designed for paddlers completing trips down Jacks Creek. The parking area makes logistics easier for group paddles or shuttle runs. Paddlers should check current water conditions before launching, as creek flows can vary seasonally, and should be familiar with whitewater paddling techniques given the stream's moderate technical characteristics.
