Sunday Afternoon Bayou Paddle

About this class

An afternoon kayaking tour on Bayou St. John designed for Sunday explorers who want a two-hour escape from the city grid without leaving the neighborhood, paddling through the calm, shaded waterway that runs from City Park down toward the lake end of Mid-City. The guide explains the ecology of the bayou as the group moves, identifying bird species and plant communities along the bank and connecting the natural landscape to the cultural history of the surrounding neighborhoods. All equipment is provided and no previous paddling experience is required, making this an accessible introduction to flat-water kayaking that most first-timers find comfortable and fun from the first few strokes.
