The
Apalachicola Riverkeeper is getting ready for its annual trek down the river
from Chattahoochee to the Apalachicola Bay.
The
7th annual RiverTrek will take 14 participants on a 107 mile kayak trip and is
designed to raise resources and awareness for the protection of the river.
The trek will take five days to
complete.
The
journey will begin on Tuesday, October the 7th just below the Jim Woodruff Dam
in Chattahoochee and end on October the 11th at Riverfront Park in
Apalachicola.
The participants will be greeted
along the way by elected officials who will speak about the river’s importance
and the recent National Recreation Trail designation.
Florida Paddling Trails
Association President Tom McLaulin will also be presenting blueway community
signs to the river towns of Chattahoochee, Blountstown, Wewahitchka and
Apalachicola at RiverTrek events.
The paddlers are raising money to
support the Apalachicola Riverkeeper.
Each paddler is currently
gathering sponsors—you can find out about each participant and donate to the
cause by going on-line to apalachicolariverkeeper.org/rivertrek.
