About
All kayaking trips require completing a pool session with trip leaders to demonstrate ability to exit kayaks confidently. The ability to swim independently is required to join this trip.
Join ROPE as we head out to the southern end of the biologically diverse Big Thicket National Preserve for some overnight camping and day canoeing. The Big Thicket area is known as the biological crossroads of North America since more species of plants and animals occur in this area than any similar sized area of North America. At Martin Dies SP we can wander on or off land through cypress and cedar keeping an eye out for waterfowl, turtles, and perhaps even an alligator.
This trip features a “disconnect to reconnect” agreement. Phones will be permitted for photos but all services will be turned off to allow participants the freedom to enjoy the trip without personal or community phone distraction.
Registration covers transportation, meals on trail, equipment, and associated recreation fees. Participants are responsible for meals while traveling to location. Participants assist with gear clean-up to encourage gear care and reduce trip costs.
This trip is open to participants of all experience levels but the ability to swim is required.
Weather/water levels may impact trip location. Alternate routes or lakes may be included to avoid closures or hazards.
