12 of us from the Tallassee Kayak Club put in at Cotton Landing for the 10 mile paddle down Holmes Creek in Washington County, FL. It was a beautiful day with temperature of about 70 at 9AM when we started and about 80 in the afternoon. There's a nice current from the dozen or so springs feeding the creek so you can do more floating and relaxing than paddling.

There are quite a few obstacles to manuver around which keeps the trip interesting. Once we had to wade in and pull the kayaks over a sand bar because the water's low this year.
That's a cypress tree on the left.
There goes Marilyn.
It's not completely isolated and remote. Someone has a cool place to relax and enjoy the river. We passed one fisherman with a 6 lb. bass on his stringer.
That's Holmes Creek. On the left you can see how crystal clear the water is. Those dark spots are tree branches laying on the sandy bottom about 6 feet underwater.
