Jaycee Landing

Jaycee Landing is a boat ramp facility located in Doctortown on the Altamaha River, one of Georgia's major river systems. The Altamaha is a substantial waterway with a drainage area of nearly 14,000 square miles and an average flow of over 14,500 cubic feet per second, making it a significant coastal plain river. The landing provides access to a river that maintains a moderate gradient of 0.6 feet per mile and an average current velocity of 3.45 feet per second, typical for a major river in this region.

The Altamaha River stretches for 134 miles from this access point to its mouth, flowing through the coastal lowlands of southeastern Georgia before reaching the Atlantic Ocean. With a stream order classification of 8, this river can accommodate various watercraft types and experiences substantial water volume throughout most of the year. Boaters and paddlers should be prepared for the river's consistent current and potential for variable water conditions depending on recent rainfall and upstream flow conditions.

Access at Jaycee Landing offers a public entry point to explore this important coastal plain river system, which is known for its ecological significance and wildlife habitat. The relatively gentle overall gradient and established access point make it suitable for those familiar with river paddling and boating operations on larger waterways with moderate current.
