Last fall I went kayaking and canoeing on the Ocmulgee River with friends. We traveled from Macon south for about 25 miles to GA Hwy 96. The water was low due to the drought for the first half of the trip (day 1), but by the second half (day 2) the river opened up and was deep enough for easy passage. I would love to continue on the Ocmulgee River from Hawkinsville to the Altamaha River and on to the Atlantic Ocean.
Below are some pictures from our trip.

Cool pics. My brother and I are planning a trip this summer from Macon to the Atlantic. Where did you put in at?
Where did you stay the night? What part of the river.
We found a sandbar and set up camp. As soon as lights were out turtles started jumping into the water making us think someone was messing with us. We looked out and saw the turtles lined up on a log to take their turns to jump. There’s plenty of sand bars.
