For the ones who arrive early on Friday, a trip will be available that afternoon on Cathead Creek.
Cathead Creek drains part of Buffalo Swamp and was used by rice growers during the 18th and 19th centuries. The abandoned ricefields and irrigation canals, now overgrown with freshwater vegetation and teaming with wildlife, provide miles of waterways and canoe trails. Time pending. Canoe and kayak appropriate. We should meet at Altamaha Coastal Tours shop on Friday starting at 2:30 p.m. to start this trip,
Trips subject to change.
