Okefenokee Swamp shuttle trip example: Let’s say you need a shuttle for your Red Trail trip in Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, from Stephen. C. Foster State Park (west side, where you end) back to Kingfisher Landing (northeast side, where you begin). From our home base to Stephen C. Foster State Park for your pickup is a 73 mile trip. After loading you, your boats, and gear, your ride from the park, around the bottom of the Swamp, and up to Kingfisher Landing is a trip of 89.4 miles. Our return home to Waycross from Kingfisher Landing after your drop off is 24.4 miles. 73 + 89.4 + 24.4 = 186.8 miles total. Rounded up, $187.00 is the fee for a Stephen C. Foster State Park to Kingfisher Landing shuttle.
Suwannee River shuttle trip example: Let’s say you want to do a multi-day Suwannee River trip, starting at Stephen C. Foster State Park (in Georgia) and ending at Cone Bridge Boat Ramp (in Florida). From our home base to Cone Bridge Boat Ramp for your pickup is a 76.3 mile trip. From there to your drop off at Stephen C. Foster State Park is a trip of 38.5 miles, and back home from the state park after your drop off is a 73 mile trip. 76.3 + 38.5 + 73 = 187.8 miles total. Rounded up, $188.00 is the fee for a Cone Bridge Boat Ramp to Stephen C. Foster State Park shuttle.
