About This Access Site
The Columbia Boat Ramp provides access to the Apalachicola and Chattahoochee Rivers in southeastern Alabama. This public launch site is located in Columbia, Houston County, and offers a paved ramp for launching motorized boats, canoes, and kayaks.

The Apalachicola and Chattahoochee Rivers form a major waterway along the Alabama-Georgia border, flowing into the Gulf of Mexico. These rivers are popular for recreational boating, fishing, and paddling. The Apalachicola is a broad, slow-moving river, while the Chattahoochee has some rapids and shoals, especially downstream of Jones Bridge. Boaters and paddlers should be aware of changing water levels and exercise caution, as the rivers can flood during heavy rains.

The Columbia Boat Ramp is one of several public access points along these rivers. Nearby recreation areas include George W. Andrews Lake, which is named after a former U.S. Representative from Alabama. Paddlers and anglers can explore the diverse habitats and wildlife along these scenic waterways from the Columbia launch site.
