The Upper Chatuge Lloyds Landing is a public boat launch facility located on the shores of Lake Chatuge in Hiawassee, Georgia. This 20-foot wide concrete ramp provides easy access to the 7,000-acre reservoir, which is part of the Hiwassee River system in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The ramp is suitable for launching a variety of small to medium-sized watercraft, including fishing boats, ski boats, and pontoon boats. As a popular destination for both recreation and fishing, the launch site sees an estimated 10,000 visitors per year. Amenities at the site are limited, as it is classified as a basic "facility" without reservable group activities.
For kayakers and canoeists, the Upper Chatuge Lloyds Landing offers a convenient entry point to explore the scenic Lake Chatuge. The large reservoir is fed by several mountain tributaries, providing opportunities for peaceful paddles along the shoreline. Boaters should be aware of potential wind and wave conditions on the open lake.
