Lifelong Adventure: Black River Paddle

  • Tuesday, April 04, 2023

Paddle the beautiful Black River through the largest concentration of ancient (1,000+ year-old) bald cypress trees in the world — including the 5th oldest documented tree in the world. It’s a long paddle at 11 miles on a relatively slow-moving black water river requiring good general physical abilities, endurance, and moderate paddling experience.
