Here, guests can take an approximately three mile canoe trip down the winding bayou waters. Experienced guides accompany visitors on this trip in search of native wildlife like wetland birds, reptiles, and deer. Life jackets are made available for all guests, however, children younger than ten years of age are prohibited from riding.

The North Platte River in the state of Wyoming is another great place to take a canoe trip.
