The Ohoopee is one of Georgia’s most pristine and peaceful rivers. This sandbar is located a few miles upriver from the Tattnall County Landing on land that is near the Big Hammock Natural Area. This is also the last area where the dunes which characterize the river for much of its course begin to transition to lower banks.
In low water, there are places where the river is scarcely a foot deep.
My father is from Collins, which is in Tattnall County, and he often swam in the Ohoopee when he was growing up. I visited it once as a very young child, and remember the tea-colored water. I think he said it was colored from tannin. Thanks for posting these pictures.
I was born and raised on this little river and spent some of the greatest times of my life in the warm brown waters of this little river
A beautiful tea stained stretch of this fine little river !
Where is Tattnall County?
I grew up in Georgia, but I’ve never heard of this county.
Tattnall is in southeast Georgia. Reidsville and Glennville are the two main towns…
