About This Access Site
Cheneyhatchee Creek Landing provides access to the Walter F. George Reservoir, a major impoundment on the Chattahoochee River in southeastern Alabama. This is a significant water body with an average flow of over 20,000 cubic feet per second and a stream order of 8, indicating a major river system. The reservoir offers opportunities for various watercraft activities in the Eufaula area of Barbour County.

The Chattahoochee River system drains a massive 16,250 square mile watershed with an average gradient of 7.7 feet per mile. At this location on the reservoir, paddlers and boaters will encounter impounded water conditions rather than flowing river current. The reservoir creates a more stable water environment compared to the free-flowing sections of the river upstream. Given the size and flow characteristics of this water body, boaters should be prepared for variable conditions and potential boat traffic typical of major reservoir systems.

This landing serves as a gateway to exploring one of the Southeast's major river systems. The Chattahoochee River extends for nearly 435 miles and represents a crucial waterway for recreation and navigation across multiple states. Users should check current conditions and any specific regulations for Walter F. George Reservoir before launching.
