T D Cheek Public Fishing Area

T D Cheek Public Fishing Area provides access to Lake Sinclair, a reservoir impoundment on the Little River in Milledgeville. This location offers a boat ramp suitable for various watercraft launching into a large reservoir environment. Lake Sinclair is a controlled impoundment, which means water levels are managed and conditions are generally calmer than the free-flowing river sections upstream.

The Little River system drains a substantial 4,201 square mile watershed and flows at an average of 6,573 cubic feet per second. While the overall river has significant gradient and flow characteristics, the lake impoundment at this access point provides a more stable paddling and boating environment. The water body supports recreational fishing, which is the primary focus of this public access area.

Boaters should be aware that this is a working water resource in a populated area near Milledgeville. Typical considerations include potential boat traffic from other recreational users and the need to respect water level fluctuations that occur due to dam operations upstream. The site's public designation indicates it welcomes general recreational access for fishing and boating purposes.
