Double Bayou
Members pay for their own charges
This paddle trip is usually a trip rating 1 up the east fork of Double Bayou from Job Beason Park to Double Bayou Park. It is well protected from wind and there is sufficient shade along the route. It is an out and back trip, so no shuttle is needed. We typically have lunch at the turnaround point (Double Bayou Park). There are facilities available at both parks for your convenience. Channel Marker 17 is just down the street from the put-in if anyone wants a cold beer or burger after the paddle.
Let's meet at 10:00 to launch at 10:30am
Driving directions: Take I-10 east across the Trinity River (about 40 miles east of downtown Houston) to FM 563 (exit 810). Take FM 563 south through Anahuac (6 miles). A little past Anahuac it turns into Eagle Road. Follow it south for about 8 miles. Turn left on W Bayshore and follow it to Job Beason Park. It's about 1 1/4 hour drive from downtown Houston.
Hazards..........................: Sometimes a little current, slippery put-in, alligators, some boat traffic, cold water.
