Boating

Situated on the Apalachee Bay and at the mouth of the Ochlockonee River, canoeing and kayaking are popular activities. A canoe and kayak launch ramp is available.

Canoe/Kayak Launch

A canoe launch is available on Tucker Lake. Take Range Road for access to a dirt service road 200 yards west of the Chaires Creek Bridge on the right as you drive east on Range Road.

Canoeing & Kayaking

Visitors enjoy canoeing on Chaires Creek and Tucker Lake, a large brackish lake connected to the Ochlockonee Bay by way of Chaires Creek. To explore the extensive tidal creek system, it is a short paddle to Chaires Creek from the Tucker Lake canoe/kayak launch. To access the canoe and kayak launch take the last dirt service road on the right off of Range Road 200 yards west of the Chaires Creek Bridge. The dirt parking area at the launch site can accommodate 12 vehicles during dry conditions. The launch area is a flat sandy area where vehicles can unload canoes and kayaks near the waters edge.

Fishing

At Bald Point’s North end and Sunrise entrances, surf fishing and wading out to oyster bars is a popular pastime.

There is also a small fishing pier located in the park where Bald Point Road terminates at Ochlockonee Bay. This is located in the area known as the North End Entrance. Among the varieties of saltwater fish found in the brackish tidal waterway are redfish, trout, flounder and mackerel.

Visitors may fish on the bridge over tidal Chaires Creek off of Range Road, and in Tucker Lake, by canoe or kayak. Sea trout, red fish, flounder and sheepshead are common catches. This is also an excellent area to cast net for mullet or to catch blue crabs.
