Hatch Park is easy walking distance from Ivey Memorial Park, where the June 10 WWALS Paddle Outing from Ft Macomb to Branford will take out.

Earlier, on May 20th, we’ll paddle from White Springs to Swift Creek, also on the Suwannee River.

Come practice your paddling this Saturday, April 29th, in the Fifth Annual BIG Little River Paddle Race at Reed Bingham State Park between Adel and Moultrie, Georgia; that’s only a two hour drive from Branford.

See the WWALS calendar for more outings and events, including Suwannee Riverkeeper on the radio this Thursday, April 27, 2017.
