About This Access Site
Hwy 96 Bridge provides access to the Flint River, a large and significant waterway in Georgia with a drainage area of 7640 square miles. This is a major river system with an average flow of over 9000 cubic feet per second and average water velocity of 3.78 feet per second, indicating moderate current conditions typical of a large stream order 7 river. The site is located in Crawford County near the middle section of the Flint River's 343-mile course, with significant elevation drop throughout the watershed suggesting varied terrain and changing conditions along the river.

Boaters using this access should be prepared for a river environment with moderate current and flow rates. The Flint River's average gradient of 2.4 feet per mile means conditions can vary depending on recent rainfall and seasonal water levels. This access point serves as a gateway to a major river system used for various recreational activities. Water conditions and navigability can change seasonally, so checking current flow rates and recent weather conditions before launching is recommended.

As a bridge access point on a large river, this site likely sees use from multiple boat types, though specific amenities and facilities at this particular location would need to be verified with local authorities or by visiting in person. The Flint River system has significant recreational value throughout Georgia, and this location provides direct access to its waters.
