About the event
Paddling Morehouse Parish leads an annual paddle to the 1,000 year old giant cypress tree nicknamed the "Castle Tree" every year. Assuming the water levels and weather cooperate we'd love to join them!
Here are the details:
When: Saturday, August 31st
Where: The Bayou Bartholomew launch in Chemin-A-Haut State Park
Cost: $3 per person to enter the park
Time: The group is planning to be IN THE WATER by 9 am (so need to arrive there early to unload boats, etc)
Some folks planning to CAMP at the park, but if traveling Saturday morning from Shreveport-Bossier can plan a CARAVAN meeting at 6:15 am at the PILOT STATION in Haughton - Interstate: I-20 & Hwy 157, Exit 33
Paddle details: The out and back paddle is around 5.5-6.0 miles total and will take several hours to complete.
What to bring: the usual for a summer paddle... pfd, bug spray, sunscreen, plenty of water, snacks
After the paddle may grab lunch somewhere nearby (we'll have worked up our appetites!)
