Reed Creek: Sandalwood Drive

Sponsor: Savannah Riverkeeper Tested: Middle Savannah River Sentinels

This site was tested 8 September 2020 and met Georgia EPD standards for recreation.

Along Reed Creek, this site is upstream from Spring Lake and immediately downstream or east of Sandlewood Drive by 200 to 300 feet, at an elevation of just under 340 feet. The creek bottom at this point is a mix of rock shelves and sandbars, with a drainage ditch emptying into the creek and helping to form the sand bars.

COVID-19

Keep your distance from other people.

Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
