We recently launched from Ochlocknee River State Park and ran the 10 miles upriver to Wood Lake Campground. It's a national forest campground so minimal fees and services. Noticed that some reviewers said the place was trashed, others that it was very clean, we fall in the middle but suspect it gets well used during general gun. Most hunters are good people but opening day and last day brings out the scofflaws.

I noted most reviewers label themselves as "guides" , then talk about the "lake". Clearly not from around here. You will note numerous references to Wood Lake, Sanborn Lake, Red Lake, Porter's Lake, etc, these are all oxbows which are connected to the Ochlocknee River. If you are a paddler, Syfrett Creek is upstream of the boat ramp and is a good paddle either pre (Oct/Nov) or post (Feb/April) hunting season. Looking forward to leaving the power boat at home and paddling there on a day trip this fall. If you choose to explore the waters be sure to bring the USGS Sanborn 7.5 minute topographic map. Fairly easy to download to your phone. This is the most confusing river round here!
