Deen's Landing

Deen's Landing provides access to the Altamaha River, one of Georgia's major river systems. The Altamaha is a substantial waterway with a drainage area of nearly 14,000 square miles and an average flow of over 14,000 cubic feet per second, making it a significant river that flows to the Atlantic Ocean. The river in this section maintains a moderate gradient of 0.6 feet per mile and flows at an average velocity of 3.45 feet per second, providing steady downstream current for paddlers and motorboat operators.

The landing is located in Appling County in southeast Georgia, positioned about 134 miles from the river mouth. Paddlers and boaters using this access should expect moving water with a notable current typical of a major river system. The Altamaha supports various recreational activities and serves as an important natural resource for the region. Water conditions can vary seasonally based on rainfall and flow rates, so checking current conditions before launching is advisable.

This access point serves the lower portion of the Altamaha River, offering opportunities for fishing, wildlife viewing, and recreational boating. The river's large drainage basin and consistent flow make it suitable for various boat types, though the current should be respected by all users regardless of experience level.
