Georgia rivers are a place of transformation for those picking up a paddle for the first time and avid paddlers alike.

No one is the same after a wild experience on a river, stream, lake or swamp.  We believe Georgia rivers have the power to reunite us with nature and with each other.  Georgia rivers are gathering places for healing, empowerment, and community. 

Georgia Rivers offers paddle trips and paddlesports training to welcome everyone out on our rivers.

Paddle Trips and Paddle Georgia

We host paddle trips and weekend adventures on rivers in every part of the state. Our annual Paddle Georgia trip includes up to 400 participants and is the largest week-long canoe and kayaking camping adventure of its kind in the nation. 

Paddlesports Training

Georgia Rivers offers paddle training through water safety classes, kayak skills classes, and kayak instructor certification courses. In 2023, the American Canoe Association recognized us as the top paddling club in the nation for training beginner paddlers. Our paddlesports training pathway bridges the knowledge gap for paddlers looking to increase their skills and maximize their fun on Georgia rivers.
