Paddling a canoe or kayak on one of the ACE Basin's three primary
rivers, and their many assorted tributaries, is probably the best way to
observe wildlife within it's habitat, view the rich scenery of ancient
oak and cypress trees as a cool breeze blows wistfully through it's
moss, consider the enormous labor behind the construction of over
100,000 acres of rice fields, and make life long friends here in the Lowcountry.
Canoes and Kayaks each offer their own unique qualities and some are
suited better for certain types of paddling then others. Be sure to
consult an outfitter for suggestions on equipment, weather, and tide
conditions.
Some of the more spectacular wildlife species will vary with the
seasons.
During the winter, nesting bald eagles soar over all these areas and on
sunny days alligators bask on the banks. In the summer, ospreys fish in
the creeks and both Mississippi and swallow-tailed kites glide above the
treetops. In spring and summer tropical migrant songbirds sing from
forested creek banks.
Some trips begin or end in places without boat ramps, requiring paddlers
to "throw-in" or "haul-out" their boats.
The trips ranking among the most popular and accessible to ACE paddlers
are divided into the following categories: Ashepoo
