Just in! Flint River User’s Guide Hot Off the Press!

Just in! Flint River User’s Guide Hot Off the Press!

The Flint River is arguably Georgia’s most beautiful river, and in terms of the terrain through which it flows on its 344-mile journey, there is not another Georgia river that exposes the river traveler to more diverse vistas.

From the bottomland swamps in its headwaters, through soaring views of Pine Mountain and rapids in the Piedmont, to breathtakingly clear springs in the Coastal Plain, the Flint is filled with surprises at virtually every bend.

The Flint River User’s Guide, the fourth in a series of Georgia River Networks recreational guidebooks, is a portal to adventure on this spectacular river. The book brings to life the river’s cultural and natural heritage while providing all the details needed to get out on the river and enjoy it via canoe, kayak, paddleboard, or motorized vessel.

Features include an introduction and overview of the river, detailed maps and notes on river access and points of interest, much more printed on waterproof paper.

If you purchase your copy directly from GRN, a portion of the proceeds benefit our river conservation work!
