About This Access Site
Barrington Park provides access to the Altamaha River and its expansive Harper Lake via a public boat ramp. This free-to-use site offers a sandy launch area, a dock, and picnic tables, making it a convenient option for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats.

The Altamaha River is a significant waterway in coastal Georgia, flowing for over 170 miles before reaching the Atlantic Ocean. At this access point, the river is wide and slow-moving, transitioning into the more tranquil Harper Lake. This mix of river and lake environments offers diverse paddling and boating opportunities, from leisurely cruises to more adventurous excursions.

Whether you're launching a kayak, canoe, or small motorized vessel, Barrington Park provides a straightforward and accessible entry point to explore the Altamaha River system. The nearby Sapelo Island National Estuarine Research Reserve also offers additional paddling and boating experiences for those interested in further adventures on the Georgia coast.
