I've used Bob Sehlinger and Don Otey's "A Paddler's Guide to Southern Georgia" since the early 80s. The thirty-four southern and central Georgia river maps and stream descriptions inspired me to venture into a whole new world of canoeing. The chapter on river difficulty ratings and hazards gave me the knowledge and confidence to canoe safely. Sehlinger describes the spirit of Georgia's streams in his Introduction, "To know the streams of southern and central Georgia is to love them, not just for their variety, but also their pristine beauty, exotic uniqueness, their wilderness flavor an tranquil remoteness. Almost every stream is protectively cradled in a forested wilderness corridor." Many of the rivers have large white sandbars that are excellent for overnight canoe-camping. There's nothing like being serenaded by cacophony of chirping, peeping, and bellowing frogs under star-studded skies. Or listening to cicadas or owls while sipping tea in the honey-dipped morning sun. Slipping the canoe into the river and surrendering to its pace brings peace. Sometimes it takes awhile to adjust your internal clock to the river's rhythm. But "river time" does come.
Excellent, highly detailed guide to south Georgia canoeing.
