PARTICIPATING PARKS:
Park Paddlers Map   Crooked River State Park
St. Marys, Georgia 31558
912-882-5256
This 4-mile loop on the club's only tidal river travels through salt marsh and past sandbars. Look for dolphins, river otters, birds and perhaps even a manatee. Please be advised of the difficulty of these trails due to the tide. Be sure you paddle with the tide and not against it. For more information concerning tides, click here

George L. Smith State Park
Twin City, Georgia 30471
478-763-2759
Paddle 3 miles to Highway 80 (a 6-mile round trip). There is a slight current, and wind conditions may affect your speed. The lake narrows toward the bridge. To stay on the trail, follow reflectors on the trees.

Magnolia Springs State Park
Millen, Georgia 30442
478-982-1660
This less-than-a-mile trail is the shortest paddle and a good beginner experience. You can bring your bicycle and try the 3-mile Muddy Spoke Club trail, too.
 
Reed Bingham State Park
Adel, Georgia 31620

The park will shuttle paddlers to Red Roberts Landing at Rountree Bridge, where paddlers will go 3.5 miles back to the park's main boat ramp. This is called the Rountree Run.
