Westlake river access
Access to the Ocmulgee River at Westlake in Twiggs County is not very
good. The boat ramp has some gravel, but suffers from erosion. The dirt roads
are poorly marked and may be impassible in wet weather.
Access
From the Ocmulgee River bridge on Georgia 96 (Knowles Landing), go east 2.5
miles. Turn on Westlake Road, which is a county-maintained dirt
road. Follow Westlake Road south 4 miles. Turn west on East Westlake Road,
another county maintained dirt road. Cross the railroad tracks and continue
about 0.2 miles to the river.
Better access upstream is Knowles
Landing. Better access downstream is
at Dykes Park.
Coordinates
Latitude 32° 29' 09'' N, Longitude 083° 29' 18'' W
Point of Contact
The boat ramp is maintained by Twiggs County, but I do not have a point of contact.
