The Polar Bear Paddle is free for those bringing their own kayaks or canoes and transportation. Canoes are available for rental by contacting Alan Crawford at 706-291-7449 or fatboyal@bellsouth.net. A shuttle will be available for $5 per person for those needing transportation back to Grizzard Park from Heritage Park. An event souvenir and hot chocolate will also be available for purchase.
