About This Access Site
White's Bridge Boat Ramp on the Little Tallapoosa River in Wedowee, Alabama provides convenient access for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. This headwater section of the Little Tallapoosa River is approximately 98 miles long and flows with an average gradient of 4.5 feet per mile. The river's average flow is 884 cubic feet per second, making for an easygoing paddling experience, especially in the spring and early summer.

The boat ramp is easily accessible from Interstate 20, located just 3 miles east on Highway 46. The ramp itself is suitable for launching smaller watercraft, though larger boats may have difficulty. Paddlers should be aware of the river's rocky shoals and steady but moderate current. Overall, White's Bridge is an excellent access point for exploring the upper reaches of the Little Tallapoosa River by kayak or canoe. Boaters should exercise caution due to the river's relatively narrow width and natural obstacles.
