About This Access Site
Bussey Point Campground provides access to Cherokee Creek and the larger Clarks Hill Lake in Lincoln County, Georgia. This boat ramp site is located adjacent to a 14-site primitive campground managed by Lincoln County. The ramp offers an easy launch point for kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats to explore the scenic waters of Cherokee Creek and the broader Clarks Hill Lake system.

Clarks Hill Lake is a vast 70,000-acre reservoir created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers along the Savannah River. It offers over 1,200 miles of shoreline for recreational boating, fishing, and other water activities. Cherokee Creek, which flows into the lake at this location, provides a more intimate paddling experience with opportunities to spot wildlife along the banks. The creek's character is generally calm and slow-moving, making it well-suited for leisurely canoe and kayak trips.

Boaters and paddlers should note that there are no services or amenities at the Bussey Point boat ramp beyond the primitive campsites. Visitors should come prepared with any necessary supplies, equipment, and safety gear. The ramp is accessible via GA-104 (Washington Road) from the nearby city of Lincolnton and the larger Augusta metropolitan area.
