RiverTrek: A five-day, 107-mile, "paddle-a-thon" On the morning of October 12, 2011, ten paddlers will launch their kayaks at the northern end of the Apalachicola River just below the Jim Woodruff Dam in Chattahoochee, Florida. Five days and 107 miles later, they will reach their destination of Apalachicola Bay and the city of Apalachicola, Florida. Join the paddlers on the RiverTrek! The Apalachicola Riverkeeper invites you to paddle along on the last leg of the RiverTrek from the Hickory Landing Campground on Owl Creek into Apalachicola on Sunday, October 16. Departure time is 9:00 AM. This is a 5-6 hour, 24-mile paddle and is not recommended for beginning paddlers.
