Paddling Georgia

the long version

Georgia’s waters hold a wealth of riches, and Paddling Georgia features thirty-eight river and coastal trips for avid paddlers, floaters, and anglers. In the northeast, the Chattooga River forms the crown jewel of Blue Ridge paddling destinations while the 410-mile-long Chattahoochee flows to the Alabama border. The Ocmulgee and Oconee Rivers flow through the heart of the state in the botanically rich Piedmont, and there simply is no other Okefenokee Swamp. Coastal paddles, meanwhile, will lead you to lighthouses, barrier islands, and beaches. Look inside to find: • Detailed river descriptions • Maps showing access pointsand river miles • Level of difficulty, optimal flows, rapids, and other hazards • Who to call for up-to-the-minute information on floating conditions
