Info: Explore the Delta! Camp from your boat! Celebrate Earth Month!

This great paddle will be led by local paddling expert Bob Andrews. We’ll gather for registration at Blakeley State Park (self-camping) beginning at 5:00 April 20th or just roll into the Stagecoach Café for breakfast on Saturday morning the 21st. We’ll leave for nearby Rice Creek Landing by 9:30, where arrangements have been made to leave our cars safely until our return the next day… no time-wasting shuttles!

Our destination will be Bartram Canoe Trail’s Twin Rivers Campsite, where we’ll spend the night and eat, drink and sleep in whatever we brought with us—self-cooking and camping at its best. On the way to the campsite we’ll land twice—once to see the state’s immense Champion Bald Cypress, and again to visit Mound Island which abounds with mounds.

Our route will make a loop through the Delta, returning a different way from whence we came, our Sunday destination and event close upon arrive at Rice Creek Landing. If we get back in time, the Stage Coach is serving until 3:00 p.m. If we don’t, there are great seafood choices nearby if a great gulf meal is on your agenda before heading home.
