Water Access

Houlihan Park provides direct access to the Savannah River, making it a useful launch for anglers and boaters exploring the river and surrounding coastal waterways.

The ramp is located just before the Houlihan Bridge on North Coastal Highway. Coastal DNR

Georgia DNR also cautions that coastal Georgia's tidal waterways can cause erosion at the ends of boat ramps. Checking the ramp condition at low tide is particularly important when launching or retrieving a boat. Coastal DNR
