The cruise will feature insights from a number of local experts:

• Joe Cook, author of River Song and Chattahoochee River User’s Guide, will regale the audience with stories of his paddle adventures on the ‘Hooch.
• And Randy Allen, Troup County Archivist, will tell the story of Joe Young, who, in an effort to save his beloved Pineland Farm, led opposition to West Point Lake in the 1960s.

You are welcome to bring your own food and beverages. Life jackets will be provided and are required to be worn at all times during the outing.
