About This Access Site
The Andrews Dam boat ramp provides access to the Chattahoochee River, a major waterway that flows for over 400 miles through Georgia. This headwater section of the river has an average gradient of 7.7 feet per mile and an average flow rate of over 20,000 cubic feet per second, making it a fairly swift and powerful river system.
Paddlers and small boaters can use the ramp to launch into the Chattahoochee, which is classified as a Stream Order 8 river. The river's substantial size and flow present some challenges, so experienced river users are advised to check current conditions before venturing out. Water quality can change quickly, especially after heavy rainfall, so paddlers should consult the BacteriAlert website for the latest updates.
For non-emergency assistance within the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, visitors can call 404-730-7911. In the case of an emergency, dial 911. Paddlers and boaters should also be aware of the generation schedule at the nearby Buford Dam, which can affect river flows, by calling 770-945-1466.
