We regret to report that this trip has been cancelled due to low river levels. Please email luke@ogeecheeriverkeeper.org if you would like to join him in an alternative paddle in the salt marshes around Skidaway Island. Meet at Butterbean Beach at 9:00AM with your boat (Click here for a map to Butterbean.) We apologize that no boat rentals will be available at Butterbean.
Another trip with plenty of twists and turns, this route is our farthest upstream. Coleman Lake is a great community, but not really a lake at all! It’s part of an old channel of the river that plugged up and became a great swimming hole for generations of locals. To add to the excitement, we will have a biologist from the Orianne Society with us to talk about the reptiles and amphibians that lurk around the water’s edge. If we are lucky, they might find a water snake to show off! This route is nearly 7 miles long and rated an intermediate difficulty.
Ocmulgee Outdoor Expeditions will be our outfitter on this trip, renting kayaks for $40 per kayak.
