Eason Bluff

Eason Bluff is a boat ramp access point on the Altamaha River, one of Georgia's major river systems. The Altamaha River is a significant waterway with a drainage area of nearly 14,000 square miles and flows approximately 134 miles to the Atlantic Ocean. With an average flow of over 14,500 cubic feet per second and a moderate gradient of 0.6 feet per mile, this is a substantial river system suitable for various watercraft. The access point at Eason Bluff in Appling County provides launch capability for boaters looking to explore this major river corridor in southeast Georgia.

Paddlers and boaters using this access should be aware that the Altamaha is classified as a major river with an average velocity of 3.45 feet per second. The river maintains adequate depth for motorized and non-motorized vessels along most stretches, though water conditions and depth can vary seasonally. The moderate current and volume make this suitable for paddlers with some river experience, though careful attention to water conditions and weather is always recommended. The river's large drainage area means it can respond relatively quickly to rainfall upstream, so checking current conditions before launching is advised.
