Full Flower Moon Paddle on Banks Lake Friday Night

LAKELAND, Ga. – It’s the perfect time to get back to nature when WWALS hosts its Full Flower Moon Paddle on Banks Lake Friday night. Canoes will put in at the Banks Lake Boat Ramp, 307 Georgia Highway 122 in Lakeland, on the Alapaha River Water Trail.

The event is open to the public and all are invited to watch the beautiful sun set and full moon rise across the lake. Organizers say there might even be bats, a major feature on these moonlight excursions.

Everyone should arrive at 7:15 for a pre-launch safety meeting. Launch is at 7:45, and if participants miss the safety meeting, they cannot participate. The paddle is free for WWALS members, and only ten dollars for non-members, who should pre-pay online if possible or bring cash. Participants should also bring their own kayaks or canoes, but free rentals are available.

In addition, everyone should bring a personal floatation device and a light for safety – glow sticks work well. They should also bring their own paddles, food, drinking water, warm clothes, and first aid kit. A whistle is not required, but it’s a good idea to have one in the dark.
