Popes Ferry River Access
This site provides canoe access to the Ocmulgee River. The site has a
concrete boat ramp. However the river end of the ramp drops abruptly, making
this access unsuitable for boat trailers. The dirt road may be impassible
during wet seasons.
Access
From Macon, take US Route 23 (Riverside Drive) north. After you cross
Interstate 75, go 9 km (5.2 miles) north and watch for the fire station sign.
Turn right (east) and just after the fire station turn right again. The
river access is at the end of the road.
From upstream, the next good access is East
Juliette , although access may also be possible at Dames Ferry .
Going downstream, the next good access is Spring Street Park in Macon.
