Alapahoochee River Paddle

Paddle on the rarely visited Alapahoochee River. This is a short paddle but may have deadfalls to navigate depending on water levels. Bring ropes for the front and back of your boat.
Down this secluded winding blackwater river, we will cross the GA-FL line, see an antique road bridge, some Class II rapids under the power line, and the very pretty Turket Creek waterfall, on the way to the Alapahoochee Confluence and our takeout at Sasser Landing on the Alapaha River.
Put In: GA 135 Bridge, 2.3 miles north of Jennings, Florida, 20 miles southeast of Lake Park, Georgia, by way of Jennings, and 12.5 miles south of Statenville, Georgia.
Shuttle: 8 miles, 12 minutes
This outing includes the traditional shuttle. Everybody takes their boats to the put-in, most people drive to the take-out, and the drivers pile into one or two vehicles and go back to the put-in. Face masks are required during the shuttle and sitting by open windows on the shuttle. If you can organize your own shuttle, that’s even better.
This outing is free to WWALS members, and $10 for non-members. You can pay at the outing or online: https://wwals.net//donations/#outings
