Little River launch at GA 122 Lowndes/Brooks County line

This launch site is located approximately 5 miles west of Hahira (Exit 29 on I-75).  The Little River flows south from Reed Bingham State Park near Adel providing the boundary  between Lowndes and Brooks Counties.  It eventually loses its name as it  joins the Withlacoochee River just west of I-75 at Exit 18.



A very easy launch site at this water level.  Although I had to drag the kayak about 30-40 yards due to some deep sand near water's edge.

The state maintains a water level gage at this bridge which can be seen HERE.  On this day the water level was just above 4 feet.  North of the bridge the river is very shallow and the river much wider.

In fact, at times I found it easier to just get out and pull the kayak.  Glad i had my waders on.

Here's a video of the flow.


North and south of the bridge the river has many sand bars which can be used as stopping/fishing points.
