About Bear Creek Marina — Your Home on Jackson Lake
Bear Creek Marina has been a beloved destination on Jackson Lake for years, offering visitors and locals alike a place to enjoy the best of what lakeside Georgia has to offer. Located in Mansfield, Georgia, just about an hour southeast of Atlanta, our marina is more than a place to launch a boat — it is a community gathering spot, a family vacation destination, and the heart of outdoor recreation on Jackson Lake.
From the very beginning, our mission has been simple: provide a welcoming, well-maintained lakeside property where people can make lasting memories with family and friends. Whether you are casting a line at dawn, enjoying a burger on the deck at sunset, or listening to live music under the stars, Bear Creek Marina is where great moments happen on Jackson Lake.
Our Story
Bear Creek Marina was founded in 1973 as Factory Shoals Marina, and its history is still visible in the old steel beams that support our covered porch. Bear Creek Marina sits on one of the most scenic stretches of Jackson Lake’s shoreline in Jasper County, Georgia. Over the years, we have grown from a simple boat launch into a full-service marina with a restaurant, campground, boat storage, kayak rentals, and live entertainment. Every improvement we make is driven by our commitment to giving our guests the best possible experience on Jackson Lake.
Our property is surrounded by the natural beauty of middle Georgia — tall pines, clear lake water, and the kind of quiet that you can only find away from the city. It is the perfect setting for everything we do, from family camping trips to lakeside celebrations and community events.

Bear Creek Marina is a one-stop destination for lakeside recreation. Our services and amenities include a well-maintained boat launch with ample trailer parking, secure boat storage for seasonal and annual customers, affordable kayak rentals for paddlers of all skill levels, a family-friendly campground with full RV hookups, the Bear Creek Restaurant serving lakeside dining with waterfront views, regular live music events on our outdoor stage, and private event hosting for parties, reunions, and corporate outings.
