About This Access Site
Shoal Creek Park provides a convenient boat ramp access point to Lake Lanier, a popular reservoir on the Chattahoochee River. This day-use area is situated in the scenic foothills of the Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains and offers a range of amenities for recreational boaters and paddlers.

The boat ramp allows easy launching for kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats to explore the expansive waters of Lake Lanier. With a surface area of over 38,000 acres, the lake offers ample opportunities for calm, flatwater paddling as well as recreational boating. The Chattahoochee River, which feeds the lake, is a gentle, meandering waterway well-suited for beginner to intermediate paddlers.

Nearby, the Shoal Creek Campground provides additional facilities for visitors looking to extend their time on the water. While specific hours and fees for the boat ramp are not available, the overall Shoal Creek Park area is open year-round for day-use activities. Paddlers and boaters are encouraged to check local conditions and any potential access restrictions before planning their visit.
