Sometimes The Road Less Traveled Isn't A Road

Georgia's Park Paddlers Club offers an abundance of scenic waterways and lakes to explore, for both seasoned paddlers and wet-behind-the-ears beginners. Most parks rent kayaks and canoes, or you can bring your own. Standup paddleboards can be used as well. We'd love to see your photos! Tag #GaStateParks and #ParkPaddlersClub.
