Ever heard of the South River in Metro Atlanta? Ever paddled it? Watch this informative video: youtu.be/tO9oDCU7DeQ and join South River Watershed Alliance for their upcoming paddling events and river cleanups: **September 6 - SOUTH RIVER PADDLING TRIP **October 4 - SOUTH RIVER JAMBOREE” ANNUAL FUNDRAISER **October 18 - SOUTH RIVER TIRE ROUNDUP & CLEANUP SEE DETAILS BELOW -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** September 6 - SOUTH RIVER PADDLING TRIP 8:30 a.m.- 5:00 p.m. Lorraine Park and Trailhead was once a junkyard for automobiles. Now it is a great place to have lunch, view the South River from two lookout points, and embark on a trip down the river. The river along this section is a little wider and flatter than the upstream section we paddle in DeKalb County. Around every bend is a surprise, an unobstructed view of the river that almost takes your breath away, slow lazy drifts reminiscent of what you would expect to find along waterways in South Georgia, and amazing tree lined bluffs characteristic of Georgia’s Piedmont forest. Trip distance is about 5 miles and takes about 4 hours from put in to take out. Plan to arrive at 8:30 a.m. for a 9:30 a.m. departure. Canoeing experience is not required but individuals should be physically able to paddle for an extended period without tiring. Cost is $40 per person which includes canoe rental, insurance, and lunch served at end of outing. Shuttle service back to put in is provided. Space is limited. Contact Jackie (404) 285-3756 if you have questions. Kayakers should call for additional information.

Choose a date. Lend a hand. Make a difference. More details: ow.ly/z0pVi Visit southriverga.org to learn more about South River watershed Alliance and give them your support!
