Little St. Simons Island is a paradise for bird and nature lovers. Ten thousand acres never developed, never logged. It is one of the jewels in Georgia's barrier island. it is also one of the youngest - estimate to only be about 2000 years old. During spring and fall migrations it is one of the best places on the east coast to see the migrating birds.

Flint River - Georgia

The Flint River flows combines with the Chattahoochee to form the Apalachicola and flows into Florida and Gulf. The water flows through this system have been the subject of a long and intense battle between Georgia, Alabama and Florida. These flows nurture the Apalachicola Bay, home to the highly productive oyster beds and an old way of life. We should be doing everything we can to protect this vital basin.
