Woodbine Community Park

Woodbine Community Park provides boat access to the Satilla River, a significant coastal river system in southeastern Georgia. The Satilla River is a large river (Stream Order 7) that spans 234.61 miles from its headwaters to the Atlantic Ocean, making it suitable for various types of boating activities. With an average flow of 3,141 cubic feet per second and a gentle average gradient of 0.9 feet per mile, the river in this area offers relatively moderate conditions for paddlers and boaters.

The access point at Woodbine is positioned along the lower Satilla River, approximately 234 miles from the river mouth, placing it in a tidal influence zone near the coast. The river's average velocity of 2.39 feet per second indicates a generally slow to moderate current in this section, making it accessible for paddlers of varying skill levels. Given the river's large size and coastal proximity, boaters should be prepared for potential tidal effects and varying water levels.

Paddlers using this access should be aware of the river's characteristics as it transitions toward brackish waters closer to the coast. The Satilla River system supports various recreational activities, and Woodbine Community Park offers a convenient launch point for exploring this waterway. Water conditions and current strength may vary seasonally, so checking local conditions before launching is recommended.
