Alapaha River

A narrow winding blackwater ribbon that is 127 miles long and sprinkled with occasional rapids and white sandy beaches. This is a relatively unspoiled wild river with tree canopies, islands, and waterfalls. It begins in south central georgia, but a popular starting point is Statenville in Echols County near the georgia-Florida border. Most interesting is the fact that the Alapaha flows underground for most of the year for most of its lower 17 miles, only appearing on the surface during periods of high water.

Alapahoochee River

Situated in Echols County, GA and continuing on to Hamilton County, FL this 11 mile long river includes a popular stretch known as the Grand Bank Canal. The canal extends from GA St Rd 135 to FL St Rd 150. It is a 4.5 mile run through beautiful scenery. Rated "easy" for novice canoeists with one Class II course of white water.

Suwannee River

Famous for its namesake song, the Suwannee emanates from the mysterious Okefenokee Swamp, then courses through north Florida to the Gulf of Mexico. As such it offers more than 200 miles of wilderness canoeing dotted with cliffs, springs, and beaches. Near Big Shoals State Park in Florida, the rapids earn a Class III rating when water levels are high enough.

Withlacoochee River

The "With" as it's fondly called begins in Georgia where it courses for 84 miles to Florida. In Florida 32 more miles meander through Twin Rivers State Forest before mingling with the Suwannee at Suwannee River State Park. Sights along the waterway include hardwood forests, crystal springs, and small shoals.
