Named one of the 75 Last Great Places left in the world by the Nature Conservancy, the river flows past rich bottomland forests, cypress swamps, and tidal marshes. Inhabited by a broad range of animals including rare freshwater mussels, egrets, wild turkeys, white-tailed deer, turtles, and more! Crisp early mornings turn into sunny, warm, fall days making it the perfect time of year for one of our most popular river excursions.
