About This Access Site
Grays Landing is a boat ramp providing access to the Altamaha River in Toombs County, Georgia. The Altamaha is a major river system draining a watershed of nearly 14,000 square miles, with an average flow exceeding 14,500 cubic feet per second. At this location, boaters can expect a moderate current averaging 3.45 feet per second, typical for a large river approaching its coastal delta region. The river at this access point is approximately 134 miles from the Atlantic Ocean mouth, placing it in the lower tidal reach of the system.

The Altamaha River supports diverse recreational boating activities including paddling, fishing, and motorized recreation. The river's substantial flow rate and major stream order designation indicate this is a significant waterway with considerable water volume. Boaters should be aware that the river experiences tidal influence at this location given its proximity to the coast, and current conditions may vary based on tide stage. The 0.6 foot per mile average gradient means the river corridor is relatively flat in this section, typical of coastal plain rivers in Georgia.
