This fall river lovers can explore Southwest Georgia’s scenic Flint River during Georgia River Network’s (GRN) Paddle Georgia Fall Float on the Flint, a three-day, 56-mile canoe and kayak journey set for October 8-10, 2016.
This will be the third year that the statewide river advocacy group has offered this trip in conjunction with Flint Riverkeeper, and organizers are expecting at least 150 paddlers to make the journey.
Don’t be disappointed. Register today. Seriously.
Registration for the event begins July 1 online here.
Registration fees include catered breakfasts, lunches and dinners for three days, camping privileges, shuttle services, event t-shirt and decal, maps and guides, entertainment and educational programs and a year’s membership in GRN.
Joe Cook, Paddle Georgia Coordinator, said:
“We keep returning to the Flint each fall because it is such a popular trip. The Flint is unlike any other south Georgia river. It’s limestone bluffs, lively shoals and blue hole springs surprise most first timers and keep others coming back to experience it again and again.”
The trip is an off shoot of GRN’s annual Paddle Georgia event, a 7-day summer-time trip that ventures on a different Georgia river each year. Now in its 12th year, that event has grown into the largest week-long canoe and kayak camping adventure in the country.
The trip is suitable for novice paddlers as well as experienced paddlers. Paddlers range in age from four to 84, with many families participating.
