SUMMARY:Scenic South Chickamauga Creek Paddling
DESCRIPTION:Paddle Expedition | Brotherhood on the Water\nStep away from the noise and get out into God’s creation with a group of men committed to growth\, challenge\, and brotherhood. \nWe’ll kick things off with a short devotional\, followed by a mandatory safety and logistics briefing. Then we gear up\, load out\, and roll at 2:15 PM sharp to the put-in location. \nNo briefing = no paddle.We operate as a team\, and every man needs to be prepared and aligned before we hit the water. Put-in and take-out locations will be shared during the briefing. \nOnce we launch\, expect a ~4-hour paddle through scenic waterways surrounded by local wildlife and raw natural beauty. This isn’t just a float—it’s time to reset\, sharpen your mindset\, and build real connections with other men. \nThere will be space to unplug\, and have solid conversations along the way. \nSpace is limited to 10 people \nYou can bring your own boat\, or we have you covered with a kayak and life vest. kayaks are limited so…. \nPlease RSVP with a text message to \nJeremiah Curda (817) 298 1520        Jacob Carvalho (707) 490 5313 \nHERE IS THE 411 ON OUR LOCATION \nPaddle South Chickamauga Creek – Chattanooga Audubon Society
