McAllister Springs Access

McAllister Springs Access offers a boat ramp on the Blackwater River, though visitors should be aware the river is frequently prone to flash flooding or 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 few times per year, so launching smaller watercraft is typically the most reliable access method. The area is open 4 a. m. to 10 p. m.

daily, with 24-hour access permitted for fishing and boating activities.
