Lumber City Landing at the US 341 Bridge provides access to the Ocmulgee River, a substantial waterway classified as a large river with significant flow characteristics. The site is located in Lumber City, Telfair County, Georgia, positioning paddlers and boaters on a river section approximately 390 miles upstream from the mouth. The Ocmulgee River at this location carries an average flow of over 6,200 cubic feet per second with a moderate gradient of 1.7 feet per mile, indicating a moving current typical of a mature river system in its lower coastal plain section.
Paddlers using this access should be prepared for a river with steady current and moderate velocity averaging around 3 feet per second. The water conditions here reflect the river's large stream order classification, making it suitable for experienced paddlers and motorboat operators who are comfortable with moving water. The surrounding area has a relatively low elevation at approximately 25 meters, consistent with the lower portions of Georgia's river systems. This landing serves as a practical put-in or take-out point for those exploring the Ocmulgee River corridor in this region.
