Description: Experience the maze of lakes and shaded, winding bayous deep within the
heart of the largest cypress forest on the Texas coast. This is one of the
most scenic paddling destinations in this part of our state, and it is
located only 30 miles east of Houston. Depending on the water and weather
conditions, we will focus on one or more of the areas many features:
wildlife, river processes, Texas history, and the impact of human
interventions. Participants must provide their own canoe or kayak, life
jackets (required), and paddles. The trip leader can help you with advice
regarding gear rentals from Houston area outfitters, if needed. Paddling
time: 4-5 hours, plus breaks for sightseeing and lunch. Difficulty: moderate
to strenuous. Recommended donation to the Houston Sierra Club: $10. Contact
