Inflatable Kayak Blog

I was looking into places to paddle in Georgia as we may be in that area on our upcoming trip to Florida, and came across an interesting looking place to put in the inflatable kayak just outside of Valdosta. It is Banks Lake National Wildlife Refuge. From what I have read this is a very tranquil place to paddle, most of it a cypress swamp, with some marshland and open water. Seeing it is a wildlife habitat there are many species of birds and other wildlife to challenge my photographic side too. Just the idea of paddling through dark waters ringed with cypress trees with low hanging Spanish Moss congers up some great Southern images.

So, depending on the time of day we are traveling through that part of Georgia, it might make for a nice little break in the road trip to take a few hours and explore the area.
