A Perfect Picnic

Get up before dawn so you can enjoy a sunrise picnic and together you can watch the world wake up around you.

Both outfitters have experienced guides to take you down the bayou or river. If you're feeling more romantic you can sign up for the popular Twilight or Moonlight Paddles and if its privacy you're looking for, rent a kayak and do some self-guided exploring on your own. 

Bike Down the Trace
