Riceboro Dock is a public fishing and boating access point tucked away along Interstate Paper Road near U.S. Highway 17 in Riceboro, Georgia.
Located in Liberty County, this quieter waterfront spot gives anglers access to the area's coastal waterways and offers a place to fish, launch a kayak, or enjoy a peaceful day near the marsh.
Unlike larger waterfront parks, Riceboro Dock is more of a practical fishing and launch location. It's worth knowing about if you're exploring public fishing access between Midway and Darien and want to discover places beyond the better-known piers.

Fishing Tips for Riceboro Dock
Check the tide before you go. Coastal water levels and currents change throughout the day. Check a local tide chart before planning your trip.
Try natural bait. Shrimp is a practical starting point for coastal fishing. Cut bait may also be worth trying when targeting larger fish.
Bring shade and water. The dock area has limited shade according to older visitor information, so prepare for sun and heat.
Pack your essentials. Bring spare hooks, sinkers, leader material, insect repellent, and a container for used fishing line.
Always check current Georgia fishing regulations, including licensing requirements, size limits, seasons, and possession limits.
Share the Dock With Boaters
Riceboro Dock serves both anglers and people launching boats or kayaks.
Keep rods, tackle, and fishing lines clear of the ramp and docking area.
When a boat approaches a shared dock, reel in your line and move your gear out of the way. Give boat operators enough space to approach and tie off safely. Never block the launch lane while fishing.
