Early morning survey of bird life and other happenings before it heats up on the shores of the Shouse Ford area - maybe check out the Simonson Biological Field Station.
Meet at 6:30 AM at the end of Red Wings Road (Hwy 4). This is a few miles west of the HWY 7 / 84 intersection in Bismarck. Turn left off of HWY 84 just past Big Hill Creek onto Red Wings Rd. at the thriving metropolis of Lambert (don‘t look for a town sign - or anything else but the road).
Plan for a leisurely 3-5 miles.
Bring kayak, PFD, paddle, water, snack, hat, sunglasses, and anything else that will make your time on the water enjoyable.
ALTERNATE VENUE: "The Swamp" (the regeneration Lake waterfowl refuge)
How about a quick spin on the bayou on the 5rd. Sure to be a hot one, we‘ll meet at Bay Area Park 8:30ish, and be on the water by 9. Likely up Alligator Alley and Horsepen Bayou to UH Clear Lake campus and back. This is an easy trip, suitable for beginners. Come prepared for heat! Cool off and fuel up afterwards at Miller‘s Cafe on Bay Area Boulevard.
OPPORTUNISTIC PLACEHOLDER - IN CASE WE GET THE FORECASTED 6.72" OF RAIN.
Not enough rain (only 1") to raise the gage enough - CANCELLED
Join us for the August meeting.
Save the date. Details to follow. Approx 9 miles and 6 hours. Out and back
The rivers came up unexpectedly and I am changing the previously scheduled lake paddle for one of the rivers. Right now I have my eye on Cadron Creek, which is at 12 feet on the Guy gage. It will recede quickly, so we will monitor its rate of decline. Final decision Thursday at 5:00pm. The fallback plan is a confirmed Remmel dam release.
CADRON CREEK:
We will meet at the Highway 285 and Cadron Creek at 9:00am. This is the take-out where we will consolidate a few boats and leave a couple of trucks. Then we will go to the put-in at Hwy 65 / Ozark Dr. and the river. This is the segment with the Rock of Gibraltar.
THE PLAN:
We will launch by 10:00AM and enjoy the 10.6-mile ride
FORECASTED CONDITIONS:
- 75-85 degF
- Mostly sunny
BRING:
kayak, paddle, PFD, sun protection (long-sleeves, hat, sunglasses, etc.), water or drink with electrolytes, snack, and anything else that will make your experience enjoyable.
DIRECTIONS:
One way is to take Hwy 65 at Conway and go past the Walmart in Greenbriar and turn left on Mountain Drive. After a little less than a mile, turn right onto Burkett Flat Road and follow it about four or five miles to where it dead ends at the "T" intersection with Hwy 285. Turn right (at the Bono Baptist Church), and go to the Cadron Creek river access (on the left before crossing the river).
The other way is to continue a little longer on Hwy 40 to Hwy 25 in Conway and continue onto Hwy 285 at Wooster.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If not a current member of the Houston Canoe Club, please fill out the online waiver on www.houstoncanoeclub.org before showing up.
Meet at Buffalo Trail Park in LaGrange- the one on Business 71 where they are fixing the bridge.
A roughly 19.2 mile trip on the Colorado River. This is the final leg of the CR 100K, to be held September 14 this year. The stretch includes Buffalo Wallow Rapid, and the LaGrange rock garden rapid, just above the finish. Currrently, the river looks good and the weather is supposed to be moderate for this time of year.
