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
