Fort Pulaski

The Fort Pulaski boat ramp provides access to the Savannah River near the historic Fort Pulaski National Monument. This multi-lane ramp offers a convenient launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats. The ramp leads directly into the tidal waters of the Savannah River, a sizable waterway with moderate current.

The boat ramp is located adjacent to the Fort Pulaski Visitor Center, which can provide maps and information about the surrounding area. While the ramp itself is free to use, there may be fees or permits required to access Fort Pulaski National Monument. Paddlers should be prepared for tidal fluctuations and potential wakes from passing boats, and check local weather and current conditions before launching. Overall, the Fort Pulaski access site offers a good starting point to explore the Savannah River and nearby coastal habitats.

The Fort Pulaski Visitor Center is located next to the main visitor parking area and historic Fort Pulaski. Here you can watch the park film, check out a variety of exhibits about Fort Pulaski, and get park and program information for a wonderful visit to the national monument.
