The End Of The Crystal Ball — October 17, 2015
When we first started working on turning Bayou Fountain into a paddle trail, we nicknamed on pair of trees “The Crystal Ball”, as we could see the future. The future finally arrived. Read more…
“The Princess Bride” — Paddle-In Movie 2015
“The Princess Bride” — Paddle-In Movie 2015
Well, that was fun. Saturday we set up on University Lake and had 30 people paddle out to watch “The Princess Bride” as our first ever Paddle-In Movie. Read more…
The Paddle-In Movie approaches!
This just in! We’re down to three solo kayaks still available for reservations for the Paddle-In Movie this Saturday, and we’re fresh out of canoes. If you’ve been waiting to see whether you feel like having an amazing Saturday night, now would be the time to sneak in under the wire.
Also, for those of you who have your own boats and have not signed up yet, I do not suppose you could-a speed things up? Wait, we’ve got an idea! Everyone who signs up for the paddle before Saturday morning will get a special exclusive PaddleBR Paddle-In Movie 2015 badge and lanyard! This guarantees your spot and secures bragging rights in perpetuity as a paddler at our very first Paddle-In Movie. (We will have some extras for surprise paddlers, but we can’t guarantee we’ll have enough for every Dread Pirate Roberts. So, if you don’t sign up, get used to disappointment… but come out for the movie anyway — it is “The Princess Bride”, after all.)
The Paddle-In Movie is GEAUX for launch!
So, LSU’s away game has become an LSU home game with a 2:30pm kickoff (Inconceivable!), but the Paddle-In Movie is GEAUX for launch. We’ll be at the park early to have everything ready, and we’ll keep someone on shore a bit longer in case anyone’s stuck in traffic. Sign up, and you even get contact information (even an on-the-water cell number!), just to be sure nobody’s left out.
This is gonna be fun, and GEAUX TIGERS!
The Backpacker demo day — October 3, 2015
The Backpacker demo day — October 3, 2015
It was a very windy Saturday on University Lake when The Backpacker came out for their October demo day, but we were there with the sign canoe, getting the word out for next weekend’s Paddle-In Movie. Read more…
Preparing for October
It’s always a bit odd when we spend a week off the water, but we took a breath of fresh hot air this weekend before we hit the ground running for October. Read more…
A Paddle-In Movie? Inconceivable!
MOVIE DAY UPDATE! Reservations are full for PaddleBR canoes and kayaks, but if you have your own canoe, kayak, paddleboard, pirogue, coracle, or whatever, feel free to crash the party. We’re planning to roll film at 7:30pm, and you’ll be able to see where to go. The University Lake Paddle-In Movie Theater only has one screen.
UPDATE! With the LSU away game now an LSU home game with 2:30pm kickoff, things got a bit more “interesting”, but the Paddle-In Movie is GO for launch! We’ll have someone at the park extra early, and we’ll even hang out and wait if you’re stuck in traffic on the way to use one of our boats. Contact information provided in the email we’ll send when you sign up. It’s going to be great, and GEAUX TIGERS!
We’ve been enjoying all our night paddle events, but we wanted to do something extra special to say thanks to all our wonderful PaddleBR members for their amazing support. Those of you who have joined us on our night paddles know we’ve been working toward this for a while, and we’re delighted to announce that our first ever Paddle-In Movie is “coming soon to a waterway near you…” Read more…

Bayou Fountain — September 19, 2015
A quick run down Bayou Fountain seemed a good idea on such a nice day. Fall is coming, which became the theme of the day. Read more…

Bayou Fountain — September 12, 2015
It was a beautiful day out on the bayou Saturday. It was practically fall, which, I suppose, confused one tree.

I thought we were going to take Labor Day weekend off, but when Mike called Friday night and said he wanted to work a paddle trail maintenance expedition, well, who am I to refuse? Read more…
