SUMMARY:Spring on the St. Marys
DESCRIPTION:A Two-Day Exploration of the St. Marys River with Option for Additional Trip in Okefenokee Swamp \nWhen spring has yet to spring in North Georgia\, we do what all good snowbirds do. We head south! Join Georgia Rivers as we explore Georgia’s southernmost river\, the blackwater St. Marys as it winds along the Georgia-Florida border. With its headwaters in the Okefenokee Swamp\, the St. Marys is one of Georgia’s most pristine and most beautiful rivers. On this journey we’ll explore an 18-mile run of river over Saturday and Sunday with an option to paddle a portion of the Okefenokee Swamp on Friday. We’ll camp at historic Traders Hill Campground near Folkston in a meadow beneath sprawling live oaks and dine in an ample outdoor pavilion on site. \nCLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE INFORMATION ABOUT SPRING ON THE ST.
