This is a Houston Canoe Club weekend paddle with overnight primitive camping. You must have primitive camping experience and be self-sufficient. Plan to arrive at the boat ramp by 0930 to unload and prepare for launch. Paddles wet at 10:00 am. Sharp. We will paddle 2 miles down the Angelina river where we will land at our campsite. Our campsite has a picnic table, fire ring and a double hook lantern pole. We will unload our gear, set up our tents, have lunch, then explore the river and other campsites further downstream.
We will paddle back to our campsite where we will engage in appetizers and your choice of beverage and a wonderful campfire and dinner. Sunday paddle is open for suggestions. Perhaps upriver above the boat ramp?. Round trip 8-15 miles. Bring a log or 2 for the fire. See links below for more information.
