About the Event

This kayak trip will take you from Sugar Hill Landing to the Combahee and nearby rice fields with Master Naturalists April Childress and Jody Tinsley. Besides experiencing the natural beauty of this environment, we are literally paddling into history as we navigate through the slave-dug canals crisscrossing the rice impoundments. We will launch from Sugar Hill, paddle down the creek to the Combahee River, and across to the rice impoundments and canals beyond. There we will look for the lilies and whatever else interesting we can find! We’ll return to the landing by around 1:00 or 1:30.

This is a kayaking trip, so you'll be getting at least your feet wet, on launching and landing.  (Don't worry even if you have no kayaking experience—Jody and April are certified guides and have lots of experience of taking beginners out on the water.) All participants are required to wear a properly-fastened life…
