Itinerary: 12 Paddles in 12 months in 12 Georgia State Parks Did you know that there is Georgia State Parks offers a paddlers club? All you have to do is paddle in 12 (or more) GA State Parks. Join me in completing this paddling challenge in 2026! More information on the 12 months of paddling is below. Our Bonus Paddle is on Lake Juliette, a crystal-clear lake formed by the Ocmulgee River. Our trip will consist of making our way into the coves and bays. We will go as far as possible before the water get too shallow and then sit and watch the birds for a time before we proceed around the edge of the lake weaving through the standing timber. This is a BYOB event - there are no kayak rentals at Dames Ferry State Park. For those people planning on staying overnight at High Falls State Park, need to register for both events. Dames Ferry State Park does not rent kayaks and canoes. After the paddling there is an optional late lunch at the Whistle Stop Cafe (opened after the movie Fried Green Tomatoes was filmed here) https://maps.app.goo.gl/mrg12JZEuYTqyCxb9 More information on the "12 paddles in 12 months in 12 Georgia State Parks" (see GA State park list here https://gastateparks.org/sites/default/files/par ks/pdf/clubs/ParkPaddlers_MemberCard_2023_fillable.pdf ) I will post the following paddles at least 1 month ahead of the date of the event. The paddles with the * will have boat rentals. I have 1 make-up paddle listed but will likely repeat others over the summer so you wil have several oppurtunities to get 12 paddles. The last paddle is at the Okefenokee, we will rent some cabins and have a celebration for those folks who paddle in 12 parks in 2026.
