This will be a 5-hour float trip on the Tallapoosa River near Tallapoosa, GA. This portion of the river
has a slight current with several shoals but no major rapids. We will be utilizing the services of Lazy
River Rentals for this trip. Lazy River Rentals offers rental boats and a shuttle service at the following
rates: $25.00 for single person kayaks, $45.00 for double person kayaks, and $10.00 to shuttle
private boats. They will put us in at the Broad Street Bridge in Tallapoosa and we will float to their
takeout located at 131 Doe Valley Road south of US Hwy 78 near the AL/GA state line. The shuttle
for this trip leaves the outfitter at 9:00 am (cst) / 10:00 am (est). Participants are encouraged to
pack a lunch with something to drink, wear clothing/footwear suitable for water activities, and to use
sunscreen. The meeting time and location for this trip will be 7:45 am (cst) from the Publix parking
lot located across from the Oxford Exchange adjacent to Exit 188 on I-20 and US Hwy 78. Those
wishing to meet directly at the outfitter should arrive there no later than 8:30 am (cst) / 9:30 am
(est). Participants should contact Keith Hudson by Monday, June 10 to register for this trip. When

the trip leader who will give them a headcount following the registration deadline. Also, participants
should come prepared to make cash payment to the trip leader upon arrival at the outfitters (this
