Paddling Georgia offers 38  trips covering the three primary regions of the state – North Georgia, Middle Georgia, South Georgia, plus Coastal Georgia. The paddles combine scenery, experiences, ease of access – including shuttling when necessary, and a reasonable length for day tripping.

Each paddle included in the book is chosen as a day trip, though overnight camping can be done where noted. Each paddle offers an array of information desired to paddle Georgia, including the data box, which details county of paddle, starting and end points including GPS coordinates,, distance, paddle time, difficulty rating, type of waterway, river gradient, river gauges, land status,  nearest town and other boats used.  Driving directions follow. A paddle summary follows driving directions. This does what it sounds like it should do – it gives an overview of the paddle trip, giving you an idea of what to expect that will help you determine whether or not you want to experience this waterway. A river summary follows. This gives an overview of the entire river, not just the section paddled. Next comes The Paddle, which is the meat and potatoes narrative, giving you detailed information about your river trip, including flora, fauna and interesting not-to-be-missed natural features. It also details important information needed to execute the paddle, including forthcoming rapids, portages, bridges and stops along the way and the mileages at which you will come across them.
