About This Access Site
The East Bank Campground in Bainbridge, Georgia provides excellent access to Lake Seminole and the Chattahoochee River. This Corps of Engineers facility offers a boat ramp and dock, making it a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters.

Lake Seminole is a large reservoir known for its excellent freshwater fishing, with over 79 species of fish identified in the lake. In addition to fishing, the lake is popular for boating, water skiing, and swimming. The campground also features a fish cleaning station, allowing anglers to easily prepare their catch.

For paddlers, the Chattahoochee River flowing into Lake Seminole provides a scenic and relatively calm waterway to explore. The river's character is generally slow-moving and navigable, making it well-suited for kayaking and canoeing. Campsites at the East Bank Campground provide a comfortable basecamp for those wishing to spend multiple days on the water.
