Barnesville Reservoir on Edie Creek offers a boat launch in Lamar County, Georgia. The reservoir sits at an elevation of approximately 1,892 feet and provides access to a creek system with moderate gradient and consistent flow. With an average flow of 3.73 cubic feet per second and a stream order of 3, this creek system offers relatively stable water conditions suitable for recreational boating.
The access point serves as an entry to Edie Creek's 8.24-mile stretch, which drains an 11-square-mile watershed. The creek's average velocity of 1.13 feet per second and 211-foot-per-mile gradient suggest moderate water movement typical of upland creek systems. Boaters should be aware that the creek extends 42 miles to its mouth, providing ample opportunity for exploration on a longer paddling trip.
Potential users should note the creek's modest drainage area and stream characteristics. Water levels may fluctuate seasonally, and boaters should verify current conditions before launching, particularly during dry periods when reduced flow could affect navigation.
