This will be a Level 1 trip 8 - 10 miles on protected water.
Paddle from Whites Park 222 White Memorial Pk Rd, Wallisville, TX 77597. We will paddle downstream less than 2 miles to look across Lake Anahuac, then paddle upstream past I-10 as far as we want and return.
Meet at the paved boat ramp in the back of the park. Please unload at the ramp and park up on the hill, to avoid impeding other users. Bring plenty of water or other hydration methods. Have sunscreen and sun protection, closed-toe shoes, spare dry clothing. Bring lunch if you want but we may go to:
The Crawfish Place
5809 TX-61
Anahuac, TX 77514
We may encounter all the usual southeast Texas hazards including power boats, fishing lines, snakes, insects, debris in the water, submerged stumps, heat cool water, and some unusual ones such as bears, rattlesnakes, and tarantulas.
The paddle route shown on the image is 10 round trip miles but I think a log jam will turn us around before that. The yellow pin on the map shows the location of White's Park Boat Ramp but don't look for it on the ground. It is made of a special material that is only visible on your screen.
