Discover Georgia’s Rivers - Paddle 12 Rivers in 2012

Georgia River Network encourages you to celebrate Georgia’s rivers – from wild places to urban waterways – by visiting 12 rivers in 2012.  Set your New Year’s resolution to get outside, get active and get to know your home state. Georgia’s rivers offer a variety of experiences including family friendly afternoon paddles, riverside hikes, exciting whitewater and blackwater experiences.

Georgia River Network’s Water Trails Website can help you find outfitters, events, organized trips, resources and a list of Georgia Water Trails to plan your own adventure. All organized trips are run by outfitters, watershed groups or paddling organizations.  The only paddle trip officially offered by Georgia River Network is Paddle Georgia in June.
