Long, but if the water is high, should be fast: 16 1/2 miles from Berrien Beach Landing
to Lakeland Boat Ramp on the lovely wild
Alapaha River Water Trail.
As long as the rains keep coming, the river should be high and it should take less
time than the usual estimate of eight hours.
Bring the usual personal flotation device, boat paddles, food, drinking water, warm clothes, and first aid kit.
There is no good place to take out before the end point, so be prepared to paddle all day.
When: 7:00AM, Saturday, February 11th, 2017
Put In: Berrien Beach Ramp, on GA 168 east of Nashville, Berrien County, Georgia, at 31.159076, -83.045554.
