Kayak Julington Creek from Hood Landing

This is an easy paddle that puts us in at the convergence of two tributaries that flow into the larger, St John River. The two tributaries are Julington Creek and Durbin Creek. We will put in at Hood Landing and paddle approximately 2 miles along an open body of water then back into a shaded canopy of quiet tree covered water and then return.
