DIY Headwaters Tours

Our popular, free, community headwaters bus tours are suspended for now (we miss you!), but anyone can get out and “Find the Flint.” You can see the headwaters from bridges and sidewalks in the Tri-Cities, around the airport, and throughout Clayton County.

Check out this detailed Google Map guide to the airport-area headwaters and remember to:

• Explore with caution and take a buddy,

• Avoid trespassing on private property, especially near secure airport areas,

• Beware of flash flooding during rain and potential contaminants in the water after a storm,

• And/or explore virtually from your couch! Videos and photos are included in the map.

We will continue to update this guide as we gather info on the best ways to find the river during a pandemic.
