Depending on your perspective, this is the slow season or perhaps the busy season, but there’s still work to be done. Read more…

Geaux Green with BREC — America Recycles Day

BREC Flyer

This Saturday, November 15th, from 10am to 1pm, PaddleBR will be high above the water on Picnic Hill at City-Brooks Community Park (the hill next to the dog park off Dalrymple) as we join Geaux Green with BREC for America Recycles Day.  Drop by and say hello, and be among the first to get a PaddleBR fridge magnet (currently in pre-production).  Visit all the other tables, play the games, recycle the stuff, visit the food truck, and just have a great time.

(If you haven’t made it to one of our cleanups, this is your chance to catch a special appearance of sorted litter, fresh from Ward Creek.  That had to be my strangest “shopping trip” ever.)

October Dark-of-Night Paddle this Friday

October Dark-of-Night Paddle this Friday

This Friday, October 24th, we’re going to try out a fun new paddle trip.  We’ll be setting out at dusk from Highland Road Park and paddling 4.5 miles down Bayou Fountain  and to the Alligator Bayou end of Bayou Manchac.  But unlike our full moon paddles, this time it’ll be *DARK*, with red LED lights/headlamps or red-filtered flashlights only for this trip.

Come enjoy the ambiance of a Louisiana bayou at night.  Be sure to bring bug spray and a sense of adventure.

  • Arrive at Highland Road Park for 6pm.
  • Launching at 6:30pm.
  • 4.5 miles of night paddling, red lights only.
  • Exit at Alligator Bayou at 9:30pm or so.

If you’d like to carpool, or if you want to come but don’t have your own canoe/kayak, we can certainly help with that.  Just reply here, call, or email (contact info at the top of the Upcoming Events page).

The water’s low but so is the temperature.  That works out to a decent day on the bayou. Read more…
