The Pearl Mill boat ramp provides convenient access to Beaverdam Creek and the larger Lake Richard B. Russell. This is a suitable launch site for small non-motorized craft like canoes, kayaks, and small fishing boats. The concrete two-lane ramp leads directly into the water, with a dock available for loading and unloading. Paved parking is provided on-site.
Lake Richard B. Russell is a large reservoir covering over 26,500 acres, fed by several major creeks and rivers. The lake is known for its excellent bass and crappie fishing, as well as opportunities for boating, swimming, and other water recreation. Paddlers on Beaverdam Creek can expect a peaceful, slow-moving stream cutting through forested areas. This access point puts you close to the lake itself, making it a convenient option for those launching smaller watercraft.
