Oconee River

Explore the great outdoors at the banks of the Oconee River in Dublin. From lazy days spent lounging in its cool waters to the thrill of hooking a bass, the Oconee River is naturally fun!

The Oconee River offers anglers hours of fun reeling in the big ones. Cast off from the bank or in a boat to fish for catfish, large-mouth bass, bream, and crappie. Launch from Blackshear Ferry Boat Landing right off the Country Club Road bridge in Dublin, Buckeye Park Landing at the end of Boat Ramp Road in East Dublin, or set off from the landing in Beaverdam Wildlife Management Area.

Flowing through Dublin, the Oconee is the home of the Robust Redhorse Sucker. Once thought to be lost for 122 years, this fish was brought out of extinction with the rediscovery of several specimens in the Oconee River in 1991. As this is one of the most endangered species in Georgia and North America, report any sightings to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
