Georgia Rights to Boat

ATTENTION PADDLERS!

The final House Study Committee on Navigable Streams and Related Matters is Wednesday, Nov. 13, at 9 a.m. at the Donald W. Nixon Centre for Performing and Visual Arts in Newnan.

This legislative committee will make recommendations to the full General Assembly about where Georgians should have the right to boat, fish and hunt on the state’s rivers and streams. If the committee adopts a narrow view of this right, we could lose public access to many streams that have been used by recreational boaters for decades.
Please attend the meeting and speak before the committee. Share why public access on all streams is important to you, and why Georgia should protect existing uses on our rivers and streams.
