SOPCHOPPY SCENIC RIVER TOUR

SOPCHOPPY - "Long twisting river" The dark tannin waters of the Sopchoppy River begins its 47 mile journey somewhere deep in the wetlands of the Apalachicola National Forest. The blackwater river passes through protected forests almost its entire length and eventually merges with the larger Ochlockonee. Boats of all types share the lower river, but the river narrows impassibly to motorboats further upstream. Those who push on in kayaks and canoes are richly rewarded with a with a true wilderness experience on this state designated canoe trail. Small trickling streams seep from the deep earthen banks of the Sopchoppy River as it winds underneath a dense canopy of trees. In the cool quietness of the wilderness, time is magically suspended and you can almost hear the cosmic breathing of the ancient past.

Board your covered 30 ft. solar powered pontoon tour boat (wheelchair accessible) for a 2 hour journey through time on the winding Sopchoppy. You will be enlightened and entertained by your tour guide, Capt. Joey Tillman as you learn about the rich history of the area and view wildlife in it's natural state.
