Thompson Bridge Park offers a maintained boat ramp managed by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers with two-tier picnic areas and parking, though the ramp is modest in size and best suited for those with average boat-backing skills.

The park features shallow water near the ramp (marked by warning buoys), a small peninsula for shore fishing when water levels are low, and remains open for night fishing and midnight boating despite official sunset closure.

Located off Thompson Bridge Road (GA Route 60) north of Thompson Bridge in Gainesville, this spot is popular for trolling and provides a quiet lunch-break destination for local workers.
