With over 70,000 miles of rivers and streams across the state, you are never more than a few miles from a waterway ready for exploration.

Georgia Rivers is dedicated to providing everything you need to explore the rivers near you.

Georgia Rivers is the state’s nonprofit partner running the Georgia Water Trail Network. This network of water trails, similar to hiking trails, includes nearly 40 waterways and 2,350 paddling miles.
