Let’s get ready for Kayak Season!

Kayaking is a low impact activity that can improve your endurance, flexibility and cardiovascular fitness and increase strength. Plus, it’s a fun way to get outdoors, spend time fishing, bird watching, or be socially distant but still hang out with friends and family. Kayaking is also a great opportunity to help clean up our waterways — take a bag with you to collect trash!

Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife, native trees and flowers and the many different species of birds who inhabit or migrate through the region.

A few of the good kayaking waterways located in coastal Mississippi include Red Creek, Old Fort Bayou, Wolf River, Turkey Creek and the Tchoutacabouffa River. While paddling these waterways you’ll glide past some of the properties protected by the Land Trust, including Twelve Oaks, Schwan, Ramsay Springs and Cedar Lake Island!

Always be prepared for your kayaking trip by making sure you have the correct paddle, flotation devices, drinking water, first aid kit, sunscreen and proper clothing. Springtime is a great time to kayak, so get your paddles out, your kayak cleaned up and your life jackets ready and you might see us out there enjoying the rivers ourselves!

Keep your eyes peeled for an exciting opportunity to help the Land Trust out by kayaking! We’ll be posing about it next week!
