About This Access Site
The Shuck Pen Eddy boat ramp provides access to the scenic Savannah River and Lake Richard B. Russell in Elbert County, Georgia. This is a convenient launch site for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats looking to explore the area.
The Savannah River in this section is a wide, slow-moving waterway that flows into the Russell Lake reservoir. The lake offers ample opportunities for flatwater paddling, fishing, and recreational boating. Nearby recreation areas include the Richard B. Russell State Park, providing additional access points and amenities.
When the Elbert County Boat Ramp on Lake Russell is temporarily closed for renovations, the Shuck Pen Eddy ramp can serve as an alternative launch location for anglers and boaters wishing to access this part of the lake. Users should plan accordingly, as the closure period is expected to last approximately 45 days. Always check current conditions and closures before your visit.
