Perdido River, historically Rio Perdido (1763), is a 65.4-mile-long (105.3 km) river in the U.S. States of Alabama and Florida; the Perdido, a designated Outstanding Florida Waters river, forms part of the boundary between the two states along nearly its entire length and drains into the Gulf of Mexico. During the early 19th century it played a central role in a series of rotating boundary changes and disputes among France, Spain, Great Britain, and the United States. This is a great river to kayak, canoe, or inner tube down. I've had many adventures on this river. It was just the other day, that I went out with a few friends of mine. We took two boats, both being alulium hulls, with one having a 15 horse powered Johnson motor, and the other using an Evinrude motor. We brought along life preservers of course, each boat having a cooler, and other such essentials. Below are some photos.
This was taken while traveling down a long dirt road while on route to the destination.
This railroad track photo was taken just right before we got to where we were going to embark into the river at. This photo was taken in a old ghost town area of where a town called Muscogee, (A Sawmill Town) used to thrive back in the old days. Not a trace remains from the old township, except for a secluded nearby graveyard that is located close by on an old dirt road surrounded by a forest. There are also remnants from the lumber Mills, but those are deep into a large wooded area though.
Putting the boats into the river. (Let The Adventures Begin) lol.
Nothing like being out on the water. Motor boating along the river. (Good Thing We Didn't Hear Any Banjos) lol jk
Here, we stopped to chill out on the Sand bar, grab a bite to eat, and enjoy a cold beverage. The water is always ice cold even during a hot summer. The water is literally breath taking. Best to just jump right in, instead of trying to ease in. I didn't go in though. Wind would have made the boat ride agonizing (From the water)
You can always find crawfish swimming around everywhere.
Also found a softshell 🐢
A cabin by the water
Pretty nice structure that someone built
Apparently, it's not the only one around here. Just one out of five.
It was quite a fun adventure I'd say. Looking forward to more future river trips. It's always a blast.
