ADDRESS: 289 Evergreen Rd, Sylvester, GA 31791, Worth County.

DESCRIPTION: Dixie Pipeline Company Opelika—Alma (Spur Line), 6.625 ³” diameter, product type Highly Volatile Liquids (HVL), as in Propane, Butane, Ethane, E/P Mix, HVLs are hydrocarbons that have been pressurized to keep them in a liquid state. If a pipeline is punctured, the HVLs will escape and convert from a liquid to a gas. HVLs are heavier than air; therefore, if they escape from the pipeline, they will likely pool in low-lying areas. HVLs are highly flammable and will burn or explode if exposed to an ignition source. HVLs are dangerous and could be lethal if inhaled by humans or animals.

DESCRIPTION: Easy access on the west (right bank, Colquitt County) side of Little River, south of GA 37, east of Moultrie towards Adel. This is the most upstream you can start a continuous paddle down the Little River (48.57 miles), then the Withlacoochee (another 62.47 miles), and Suwannee Rivers (127.79 miles), for about 239 river miles to the Gulf of Mexico. This is also one of the most remote and unspoiled stretches of river in the Withlacoochee and Little River Water Trail. Sand beaches abound for lunch or even overnight camping. In the new year expect yellow jessamine earliest, then wild native azaleas (Rhododendron canescens) blooming in their white to yellow or pink glory. In spring see red maple and white Grancy Greybeard and dogwood trees. In summer you may see the halberdleaf five-large-petaled swamp rose-mallow (Hibiscus laevis); each bloom only lasts one day. In the fall, expect swamp sunflower (Helianthus Angustifolius). Year-round, see loblolly pines, live oaks, water oaks, cypress, river birch, willow, and Spanish moss.

The concrete for the bridge was mixed in wheelbarrows and pushed to the wooden forms. The bridge was built to last. Issac Shiflett and his comrades drove the pilings down until they hit the bedrock some 20 feet below the earth’s surface.”” Adel News Tribune, 1 Oct 2014, Page 9-A.

The Lowndes County Engineering Department announces the emergency closure of the Old US 41 bridge south of Chancy Drive. The closure is a result of a large tree falling on the bridge and breaking the barrier wall. An update to the length of the closure will be sent out tomorrow morning along with the detour. If you have any questions please call the Engineering Department at 229-671-2424. “”Some maps show it as Vickers Branch. The Vickers family were the ones who owned most of the land in the area back in the 1800s.”” —Phillip Williams 2020-04-01

CATEGORIES: Landing

LAYER: Brochure

GPS: 30.851842, -83.346536

OWNERSHIP: Public, VLPRA, PARCEL 0057 002A

WATER BODY: Little River

Lowest boatable: 137

Highest safe: 144

GAUGE: Hahira

MILE: 0.36

ADDRESS: 19664 Valdosta Hwy, Valdosta, GA 31602. I-75 exit 18, west on GA 133 (St. Augustine Road) away from the Valdosta Mall, at the traffic light for Val Tech Road, turn left down to the boat ramp. Lowndes County.

DESCRIPTION: This GA-DNR boat ramp on the left bank of the Little River in 178-acre local park, just west of the most populous city in the Suwannee River Basin, is the last access to the Little River and often the first access to the Withlacoochee River, which is only a couple thousand feet downstream. It’s about 11 river miles downstream past the Little River Confluence and the clean treated water outfall of the Valdosta Withlacoochee Wastewater Treatment Plant to US 84 Landing, which is the roughest takeout on the WLRWT. Troupville Boat Ramp is also a good takeout after 6.72 Withlacoochee River miles downstream from Langdale Park Boat Ramp. Remember to turn right at the Little River Confluence to paddle those last couple thousand feet upstream. Directions: from Valdosta, go west on St. Augustine Road west across I-75. From I-75, take exit 18, go west, and when you see a sign and traffic light for Val Tech Road, turn left instead, and that takes you down to the boat ramp. This is a Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) boat ramp operated by Valdosta-Lowndes County Parks and Recreation Authority, in a 49.36-acre park. Local elected officials are raising funds to buy the 74 acres from there down to the Little River Confluence, to make a combined 123-acre park and to build the Troupville River Camp proposed by WWALS, here at the center of the Withlacoochee and Little River Water Trail. https://wwals.net/2019/11/05/troupville-river-camp-center-of-little-and-withlacoochee-river-water-trail-2019-10-31/

HISTORIC FACTS: Start of Paddle Georgia 2019. Troupville was the former county seat of Lowndes County, Georgia, here between the blackwater Little and Withlacoochee Rivers. In 1860 the entire town picked up and moved four miles east to the path of the first railroad, and renamed itself Valdosta.

AKA: Little River Boat Ramp (old VLPRA name), Troupville Landing (after the name of the old Lowndes County seat), Troupeville Landing (GDOT), the prison boat ramp (after the state prison across the road).

In 1833, the County Seat was moved to Troupville, a small settlement about four miles west of present-day Valdosta. Georgia Historical Commission 1961″”

DESCRIPTION: This short stretch can take longer than you expect, if you take the Franklinville Roundabout more than once, or if you get lost in the woods, or if there are many deadfalls. In the new year expect blooming yellow jessamine, then wild native azaleas (Rhododendron canescens). In spring see red maple and white Grancy Greybeard and dogwood trees.

HISTORIC FACTS: Tyler Bridge closed about in the 1990s per request of local landowners, so Franklinville Road now acts as a barrier to northward sprawl of subdivision development.
