Hike to Dead River Sink, Alapaha River

Saturday is rain all day and cold, so we’re going for 2PM this Sunday, November 7, 2021, when it should be 60 degrees with zero percent chance of rain.

Join us for an approximately three-mile hike down the Dead River to the Dead River Sink, where the Alapaha River goes underground much of the year. We will be led by Practicing Geologist Dennis J. Price. He will explain the geology, and how unusual this place is: there’s nothing like it in Florida or Georgia.
This is a hike: no boat is needed.(Also, SRWMD has made a road right to the Sink, if you don’t want to hike.)
Also, time permitting, on the way out we will park at Jennings Bluff Cemetery and look at the nearby Jennings Bluff Spring.
Bring: mud boots, drinking water, snacks, and first aid kit. Also trash pickers and trash bags: every WWALS outing is also a cleanup.
This outing is free to WWALS members, and $10 for non-members. You can pay at the outing, or online: https://wwals.net/outings/
