Foster's Bridge Boat Ramp provides access to the Tallapoosa River, a large and swift-flowing river in the Appalachian foothills of Alabama. The ramp is located in Lineville, Randolph County, and can accommodate small motorboats, canoes, kayaks, and other hand-powered watercraft.
The Tallapoosa River is a substantial waterway, measuring over 260 miles long with an average flow of nearly 6,700 cubic feet per second. It drops almost 1,000 feet in elevation from its headwaters to its confluence, resulting in a relatively swift current averaging 5.6 feet per second. These characteristics make the Tallapoosa well-suited for experienced paddlers looking to navigate a large Piedmont river, but also require caution from boaters.
While specific details on hours of operation or fees are not available, the Foster's Bridge Boat Ramp offers a convenient put-in point for those wishing to explore this section of the Tallapoosa River by kayak, canoe, or small motorboat. Paddlers should familiarize themselves with the river's flow and plan accordingly for the conditions they may encounter.
