Trip Description:  Let's get out on the water for a leisurely paddle on Armand Bayou. We will launch from Bay Area Park and paddle north, into the upper reaches of the bayou.  The water hyacinth seems to have been cleared out by cold and heavy rain.  This is a level 1 paddle  Upon returning to the put-in at Bay Area Park, some may wish to take a break and then continue to paddle further. 

 

Be sure to bring plenty of water, sunscreen, insect repellent, and snack if desired (or lunch if you choose) .


Directions: 
Click the Map quest link for map.  From Houston take I-45 south toward Galveston, exit on to Bay Area Blvd, take a left and travel 5.6 miles east to Bay Area Park. 

 
Plan to arrive in the Park by 0900 so we can be on the water by 0930.


Hazards:
Stumps, alligators, heat, dehydration, snakes, mosquitoes, wasps, thunderstorms, alien life forms . . . .
