About This Access Site
The Torras Causeway boat ramp provides easy access to the MacKay River on St. Simons Island, Georgia. This is a popular put-in point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats. The ramp is located approximately 0.3 miles past the MacKay River Bridge on the right side of the causeway.

The MacKay River is a tidal river that flows into the Atlantic Ocean. It offers a mix of open water and protected coves, making it suitable for a variety of paddling and boating activities. Paddlers can explore the river's winding channels, observe wildlife, and potentially access nearby Wolf Island National Wildlife Refuge. Motorized boaters can use the ramp to access the river and continue on to the Intracoastal Waterway.

Please note that the boat ramp may be temporarily closed for repairs, so it's advisable to check for any updates before your visit. No other specific details about hours or fees are available. Nearby recreation areas include Fort Frederica National Monument and Wolf Island National Wildlife Refuge, which offer additional opportunities for exploration and wildlife viewing.
