About This Access Site
The Bellville boat ramp provides access to the scenic Sapelo River in McIntosh County, Georgia. This single-lane ramp is well-suited for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats.

The Sapelo River is a tidal waterway, with moderate current and a relatively flat gradient. Its wide, slow-moving channel makes it an excellent destination for paddlers seeking a peaceful and tranquil outing. The river's brackish waters support diverse wildlife, including shorebirds, wading birds, and marine life.

Facilities at the Bellville site include a paved ramp, a floating courtesy dock, and limited roadside parking for vehicles and trailers. Anglers can also utilize the shoreline for fishing opportunities. Nearby, visitors can explore the natural beauty of the Wolf Island National Wildlife Refuge and Blackbeard Island National Wildlife Refuge, offering additional opportunities for wildlife viewing and outdoor recreation.
