About This Access Site
The Richard B. Russell State Park boat ramp provides convenient access to Lake Richard B. Russell, a 26,650-acre reservoir on the Savannah River. This large impoundment offers excellent opportunities for boating, fishing, and other water-based recreation.
The boat ramp is located within the state park, making it easy for paddlers, canoeists, and small motorized boaters to launch their watercraft. The ramp has a paved surface for easy loading and unloading. Nearby, the park provides ample parking for vehicles and trailers. As a state park facility, the boat ramp is open to the public during normal park hours, though specific details on hours and fees may vary.
For those seeking to explore the lake by kayak or canoe, the calm waters of Lake Richard B. Russell provide a scenic and peaceful paddling experience. Anglers can also take advantage of the ramp to access the lake's populations of bream, catfish, and other gamefish. Boaters should familiarize themselves with the lake's size, access points, and any relevant rules or regulations before venturing out.
