SUWANNEE RIVER |
ALAPAHA RIVER |
|
From the edge
of the Okefenokee Swamp to the Gulf of Mexico, this Florida State Canoe Trail
offers over 200 miles of true wilderness canoeing, with numerous springs,
rock cliffs, and white sand beaches. The
historic Suwannee River offers many excellent campsites for the overnighter! |
This
narrow and winding South Georgia State Canoe Trail offers more than 100 miles
of canoeing, with white sandy beaches, many campsites, and occasional rapids.
Call for
up-to-date river conditions, as water level can get quite low. Longer
trips can be arranged. |
|
NORTH WITHLACOOCHEE RIVER |
OVERNIGHTERS |
|
This can
be one of Georgia/Florida's most exciting rivers, with challenging rapids,
flowing past many springs and limestone bluffs which were pitted by swirling
currents of ages ago. Call for
up-to-date rivers conditions as this river is recommended for the experienced
canoeist certain times of the year. Longer trips can be arranged. |
The
charge to rent our canoes is $24.00 per calendar day. This includes:
canoe, 2 life jackets, and 2 paddles. Transportation
