Liberty County Boat Ramps

Liberty County Regional Park — Jones Creek

Location: Isle of Wight Road, near Midway, GA 31320

Water Access: Jones Creek

The Liberty County Regional Park launch is on Jones Creek just north of Midway. County planning information describes it as a single-lane ramp intended primarily for smaller boats. Georgia Department of Community Affairs

The park was renamed Susie King Taylor Freedom Park at Jones Creek in 2026. Recent reporting notes that the renovated ramp remains better suited to smaller boats because of shallow water and limited trailer maneuvering space. Larger boats may have difficulty turning around, while the nearby Sunbury ramp is better suited to larger boats and trailers. Georgia Public Broadcasting

Water Access

Jones Creek: Liberty County Regional Park / Susie King Taylor Freedom Park

Medway River: Sunbury Boat Ramp

South Newport River: South Newport River Boat Ramp

These launches provide access to some of Liberty County's coastal marsh and river systems. Jones Creek is the most restrictive of the three for larger boats, while Sunbury offers the most developed trailer-launching facilities. Georgia Public Broadcasting

As with other Georgia coastal ramps, tidal erosion can create drop-offs at the end of ramps. Georgia DNR specifically recommends caution when launching during low tide. Coastal DNR
