This is about halfway between Lake Park in Lowndes County and Statenville in Echols County, at the GA 376 bridge on the Alapahoochee River.

It’s also about ten miles upstream from Florida, and about a dozen miles from the Alapahoochee Confluence with the Alapaha River.

The Alapahoochee River is part of the WWALS Alapaha River Water Trail (ARWT). And this is not what we like to see on the ARWT.
