About This Access Site
The Richard B. Russell State Park boat ramp provides easy access to the expansive Lake Richard B. Russell along the Savannah River. This large reservoir, created by the Richard B. Russell Dam, offers excellent boating and fishing opportunities for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters.
The park's well-maintained boat ramp allows you to easily launch your watercraft onto the lake. With the lake's 26,650 acres of surface area, there is ample room to paddle, motor, or fish. The Savannah River feeds the lake, providing a mix of moving and still water that is popular with anglers seeking bream, catfish, and other species. Picnic areas with grills and tables are available near the boat launch for those looking to enjoy a meal on the shore.
Boaters and paddlers should be aware that the lake can experience windy conditions, so checking the forecast is recommended before heading out. Overall, the Richard B. Russell State Park boat ramp is a convenient access point to explore this large reservoir and the surrounding natural beauty of the area.
