Water Access

The ramp provides access to the Darien River, with connections to the surrounding tidal creeks, marshes and coastal waters around Darien.

Because this is a tidal coastal ramp, Georgia DNR advises boaters to use caution around low tide. Tidal erosion can create a drop-off at the end of coastal ramps. Coastal GADNR
