McAllister Springs Access provides a boat ramp for the Blackwater River, which frequently experiences flash flooding and low water conditions, making it most practical for small boats, canoes, and kayaks.

The ramp often accumulates several inches to feet of silt and is cleaned only a couple times per year, typically during dry periods. The area is open 4 a. m. to 10 p. m. daily, with 24-hour access for launching and landing boats.
