My first trip on the Alapaha was short, but exciting. The water was high and we went up stream, fighting the swift current. The trip back was relaxing. It was a Saturday and there were many motor boats with rude week-end drivers. We plan to put in on 168 bridge during the week and float to the Lakeland 221 bridge during the week. The Alapaha has sandy banks and the brown water so many south Georgia rivers are known for.
