More Praise for Fort McAllister Marina on the Ogeechee River, near AICW Statute Mile 603.5
Fort McAllister Marina guards the Ogeechee River’s southern banks, well upstream of the AICW’s marker #98. In the past. the marked channel up the Ogeechee River, off the AICW. has been scantily marked at best. Looks like that situation has now improved considerably!
We stayed at this marina in August , 2011. Yes , there are markers , First 2 red , then 8 green and then 3 red to get you from the North shore to the South shore. Here we read depths of 4.5 to 5 feet at low tide ,flood rising. Our 4 foot draft , no problem. With a tide range of 6 plus feet, mid-tide or higher should be no problem for longer leg boats.
Food and service at Fish Tales excellent. A visit to the Fort is a short walk . If you are a civil war afectionato, the
well preserved earthwork fortification along with the museum is worth a visit.Hours 9 to 5 daily.
