Expect the unexpected should be the motto for this year’s Paddle Georgia. When you weave through the Flint’s bends around Pine Mountain and Sprewell Bluff State Park, you’ll never guess that you are in Southwest Georgia. From the initial launch site east of Woodbury, the journey travels for four days across the Piedmont, meaning four days of rapids and shoals and a trip through what is arguably the most scenic stretch of river in Georgia. From the fall line, the river descends into the high coastal plain where it remains remote and wild. Unlike previous Paddle Georgia’s, this year’s route doesn’t pass through “civilization” until the final day of the trip when we enter Montezuma and Oglethorpe. In fact, it is the first Paddle Georgia that does not travel beneath an interstate highway.
