The weather forecast looks like a perfect day for a paddle trip, but on the cool side, so remember to dress for immersion and have a spare set of dry warm clothing in your boat.

This 11 mile out-and-back paddle trip is usually a trip rating 2 up the East Fork of Double Bayou from Job Beason Park to Double Bayou Park.

We will use the new kayak/canoe launch, so you don't have to get your feet wet.

It is well protected from wind and there is sufficient shade along the route if needed. It is an out and back trip, so no shuttle is needed.  We will stop for lunch at the turnaround point (Double Bayou Park).  There are facilities available at both parks for your convenience.  Channel Marker 17 is just down the street from Job Beason Park if anyone wants a cold beer  or burger after the paddle. We will practice COVID social distancing on and off the water and not share food or drinks.

 

Let's meet at 9:30 to launch at 10:00.

Hazards.............Sometimes a little current and/or wind, one 3 foot alligator, some boat traffic, cold water, and some trees in the water. WATER AND AIR ARE COOL - WEAR NO COTTON!  Wear good closed-toe footwear for debris and barnacles in the water.

How to Get There:

From Houston: Drive east on Interstate-10. At Exit 810, turn south on FM 563 and continue straight when it becomes Eagle Road. In the town of Oak Island, turn right onto W Bayshore Road and continue straight onto Hisler Road to Job Beason Park.


Note!  A COVID-19 Waiver is now required.  If you have not signed a COVID-19 waiver (they are good for one year), please see link below for directions on signing it.
