Tuckahoe Wildlife Management Area - Possum Eddy

Possum Eddy at Tuckahoe Wildlife Management Area provides access to the Savannah River, a major river system flowing through Georgia toward the Atlantic Ocean. This is a significant waterway with an average flow of over 12,800 cubic feet per second and a moderate gradient of 2.2 feet per mile, making it suitable for various types of boating. The river at this location reflects its status as a major stream order 8 waterway with a drainage area exceeding 10,000 square miles, indicating substantial water volume and established current patterns.

Boaters using this access point should be prepared for a river with measurable current and velocity averaging nearly 7 feet per second. The Savannah River's characteristics suggest it is navigable for multiple boat types, though users should have appropriate experience for river paddling or motorboating on a major flowing waterway. Being part of a wildlife management area, this access point likely supports fishing and wildlife viewing opportunities in addition to general recreation.

The site is located in Screven County in the lower portion of Georgia, positioned well downstream on the Savannah River system. Access at Possum Eddy should provide a good launching point for exploration of this major river corridor.
