Trail’s End Resort and Butler ’s Ferry Landing     Historical note:  Butler’s Ferry once crossed the Chattahoochee River here.  At first it was known as Turnage Ferry and it ran from 1874 until 1923.  It was then sold to L. C. Butler, who ran the ferry for a very short time because the railroads were taking over in the transportation business.  In its time, it was the only ferry in this area and it was a very popular place.             The remains of the road can be seen after the dead end sign at the landing.  However, the backed up waters of the Chattahoochee River have covered more than 1,000 feet of a road, both on the Georgia and Florida sides.   By boat:  Mile Marker 8.8 on the Georgia side (right going upstream)   By vehicle:  At the southern end of State Route 253 ( Spring Creek Road )   Amenities:  Two ramps, two boat docks, camping, picnic area, comfort station, drinking water, cabins, bathhouse, gas, bait, supplies, snack bar, gift shop.   Phone number:  (229) 861-2000 Signs mark the entrance to the channel, which leads into the marina’s exotic lagoon.  There are two large concrete ramps.  The parking lot is large and very maneuverable.             Now under new management, Lucas Stewart wants to welcome everyone to their new facilities.  There have been some very dramatic changes.  There are nine new cabins. Some are fully carpeted others have wooden floors.  All offer a spectacular view of the lagoon where the launch ramp is.  All types of camping are allowed, from tent to trailer to RV.  There are full service hook-ups, electrical, water and sewage.             Trails End Resort also has a store that contains oil, batteries and other boating necessities.  There is a serve yourself snack bar as well as other items such as bread and cold drinks to live bait and a wide assortment of tackle.  They also have that rare but necessary commodity -gas.
