Reed-Bingham State Park

The early morning offered a pool of water
as slick as glass...this paddler's favorite!

She didn't really want to get up that early on a Saturday morning, but she obliged and it was worth it.  My wife and I travelled the short distance from our house to Reed-Bingham State Park, located about nine miles east of Moultrie, Georgia.  Getting there takes you off the Moultrie bypass and onto a typical south Georgia country road with fields of cotton and beautiful pine forests.  Parking at the 375 acre lake is plentiful with good, clean rest rooms handy.  A nice ramp is available to launch from and then it's time to head upstream of the Little River.  The river is popular with fisherman and it is easily shared with kayakers.  The winding turns in the river offer an ever-changing scenery.  We only spotted one alligator on our outing which is just enough for my wife...well, maybe one too many!  We could have gone farther up than we did, but we ran out of time and had to head back.  We'll go back again as it is just too close and too easy to get to.
