12 Paddles in 12 months in 12 Georgia State Parks

Did you know that there is Georgia State Parks offers a paddlers club? All you have to do is paddle in 12 (or more) GA State Parks. Join me in completing this paddling challenge in 2026! More information on the 12 months of paddling is below.

I am offering one more bonus paddle for all of those people who are doing the 12 Paddle State Park Challenge with me (everyone is welcome)! This paddle is at one of the nation's oldest State Parks. Indian Springs State Park’s natural artesian spring has been used by generations of people for its flowing mineral water, that some claim to have homeopathic qualities. We are going to be enjoying the park's 105 acre lake. We will put in at the boat ramp near the group shelter. We will try to complete a full circuit of the lake (around 6 miles), temperatures and weather permitting.

This is a BYOB event - there are no kayak rentals at Indian Spring's State Park.
