FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Withlacoochee and Little River Water Trail Committee members wanted by WWALS Watershed Coalition
Hahira, June 23rd 2015 –
WWALS Watershed Coalition is pleased to announce the formation of the
Withlacoochee River Water Trail (WRWT) Committee.
With the Alapaha
River Water Trail well on its way to completion, WWALS is ready to
take on the Withlacoochee and Little Rivers. We are looking for
people to take an active part in developing a recreational water
trail for all to enjoy.
Chris Graham, Chair of the Alapaha River Water Trail, said:
“I feel I have accomplished a good deal in our area. Now that the Alapaha River Water Trail brochures are printed and WWALS is starting on the Withlacoochee River Water Trail, I feel it is time for someone in the Little River or Withlacoochee River watersheds to have an option to join the WWALS board to do something good for their river.”
WWALS has already started mapping and
gathering information for the Withlacoochee River Water Trail,

WWALS co-sponsors the “Big Little
River Paddle Race” at Reed-Bingham State Park each spring on the
Little River, a tributary of the Withlacoochee River. There is the
potential for another paddle race on the Withlacoochee in the fall,
and we’re looking for ideas for where and who wants to help.
Some of the benefits of a water trail
include:
