Hawkinsville boat ramp
The best public access to the Ocmulgee River in Pulaski County is at a park
next to the old fairgrounds in
southern Hawkinsville. Facilities include boat ramp and picnic
shelters. Access is also possible just upstream in downtown Hawkinsville.
Access
For the park next to the old fairgrounds, start in downtown Hawkinsville. Go south on Jackson Street 0.7 miles. Just past the old fairgrounds, turn left on County Road. Follow County Road 0.4 miles to the Ocmulgee River.
For the downtown access, go to the downtown end of the twin Ocmulgee River
bridges. At bridge level there is a tiny park with a Veterans memorial. You
may prefer to park here than in the flood plain. To access the river, cross
the westbound highway and immediately turn down into the flood plain.
From upstream, a public boat ramp is at Dykes
Park. Downstream, there is a boat ramp at Sandy Hammock.
