About This Access Site
Big Lazer Creek Wildlife Management Area provides access to the Flint River, a substantial waterway that flows through Georgia with a drainage area of 7,640 square miles. This section of the Flint River is a large river (Stream Order 7) characterized by an average flow of approximately 9,005 cubic feet per second and an average current velocity of 3.78 feet per second. The location sits in Upson County with relatively modest elevation gradient in this section, making it a significant paddling and boating destination.

The Flint River near this access point offers opportunities for various water-based activities. With an average velocity of under 4 feet per second and the river's large size, paddlers can expect moderate current conditions typical of a major Georgia river system. The river maintains adequate water depth in most seasons given its substantial drainage area, though seasonal variations in flow should be considered when planning trips. This section is still relatively far from the river's mouth (approximately 452 river miles away), meaning the character is that of a developed river corridor rather than a tidal zone.

Paddlers and boaters using this access should be aware of the Flint River's natural flow patterns and occasional fast water during high water events. The wildlife management area designation suggests the surrounding landscape retains natural character with wildlife habitat present.
