Payne Boat Ramp: The Gateway to Giant Fish?



Payne Boat Ramp is on Kellogg Creek Road, east of Harbor Town Marina on Lake Allatoona.  The boat ramp is open all year long.  From late March through Labor Day Weekend, you may access this Day Use Area via the campground entrance between the hours of 7 AM and 10:30 PM.

Could this be the secret portal to the lake’s best fishing?  Maybe.

Some folks say it’s hard to catch fish at Lake Allatoona.  We say it’s only hard to catch fish if you don’t go fishing.

Slip your boat into our fish-filled lake and take your best shot.  The bass are waiting for you.  Plotting how to take your bait and laugh at you.

You gonna take that, Bubba?
