Yesterday on the way back from Waycross I looked at Lakeland Boat Ramp on the Alapaha River.

The water level was 77.74 NAVD 88 or 1.64 feet from bottom. on the Statenville Gauge.

Our recommendations are Lowest boatable: 78.1; Highest safe: 85.1.

So if you want to paddle, I suspect you will spend some time dragging your boat.

If you have a motorboat, good luck getting the trailer submerged.
