About This Access Site
The George Hooks (SR49) Boat Ramp provides access to the Flint River in Oglethorpe, Georgia. This public boat launch is located along Highway 49, making it an easily accessible put-in point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats.
The Flint River in this section is a moderate-sized waterway with a relatively gentle current, making it well-suited for recreational boating and paddling. The boat ramp itself is a paved, single-lane design, allowing for easy launch and retrieval of small craft. Ample parking is available near the launch site.
For those seeking additional recreation in the area, the nearby Andersonville National Historic Site offers a somber but important historical destination just a short drive away.
