About the event
Bodcau PopUp Paddle
Bodcau’s water level is currently at ~161 feet which is a great level to paddle. The water has been high for the last month or two so we could encounter some obstacles. It will be warm so water and sunblock are necessities.
When: Sunday, July 7, 2024 – unload boats by 9:00 am; paddles in the water at 9:30am
Where: Tom Merrill Recreation Area at Bodcau Bayou – Day Use area on the far side of the bayou (across the bayou from the campground).
