Anybody here have experience exploring bayou country of the South -- especially exploring on the water, by canoe or kayak?
I haven't done enough research yet to define exactly where I'm asking about. Certainly Louisiana...but there are cypress swamps all across the South, and I guess that's what I'm really interested in: cypress-studded wetlands and interconnected waterways suitable for exploring by human-powered boat.
I've been to the Okefenokee Swamp while visiting a friend in Georgia, but I didn't explore by water. And I saw - and camped near - some bayou-ness in Mississippi and Louisiana on a road trip last year. Fascinating.
Bayou country is the antithesis of my traditional high desert / mountain haunts...but what I've seen makes me want a bigger experience.
Maybe I just want a chance to fend off a hungry gator with a paddle.
I know this is off-topic for wt-WEST, but I figured I'd take a chance and start my research by asking here.
Thanks.
