Neal�s Landing � Historical note:� This landing is right in sight of Highway 91 Bridge.� At first this was a ferry landing, operated by Mr. Ward of Iron City.� Then, in 1927, the ferry was replaced by the famous swinging bridge.� Constructed of cables and wood, it was very scary when the cars and truck would go because it would buckle and sway. ����������� In 1953, it was deemed unsafe and the present bridge was built.� While the construction was going on, the swinging bridge was replaced by a ferry.� It proved to be more dangerous than the bridge as two people died here and the ferry sank twice. ����������� Also, there have been several steamboat wrecks here in days gone by.� The General Harrison exploded in 1841, killing three people, and the Eagle, in 1854, also started on fire.� Six lives were lost in this one. ����������� A more recent sinking and fire took place on the City of Eufaula steamboat.� She was tied up at Neal�s Landing when a fire, which started in her cargo, burned the lines loose and she drifted four miles downriver before she sank at Mile Marker 20. No one lost their life. � By boat: Mile Marker 24 on the Florida side (left going upstream) � By vehicle:� Across the State Route 91 bridge from Georgia to Florida.� Here the route number changes to State Route 2.� Access is just across the bridge. � Amenities:� Ramp, camping, picnic area, comfort station, drinking water � Phone number:� (229) 662-2001 Launching here is right on the banks of the Chattahoochee River.� There is a long, gradual ramp and the water is fairly deep.� However there is no pier to tie up to while you park your truck and trailer, but there are sturdy trees within a short distance.� Also, there is the current of the river to contend with.� It is best to have a buddy along to help with launching here.� Bathroom facilities are very clean and camping for tent and RV is available. �
