Canoeing and Kayaking in Mississippi Wildlife & Fish Refuge

Overview

The Mississippi backwaters in this area is an untouched natural habitat. No other canoe/kayak rental company will put you into the heart of this wonderland. Take a day tour or overnight camping trip on the river. The sound of nature will calm you. Stop and listen. Visit an island with a sandy beach. Thousands of lily pads bloom huge yellow flowers in late summer. Large flocks of water fowl stop by in spring and fall. Turtles are common sights. Tall trees grow on numerous islands.

We booked this last minute when coming into the area. Quick response and accommodated us next day. What a piece of heaven the backwaters are. Roger guided us out to the Mississippi to a beautiful sandy beach. Haven never been on the Mississippi, I really enjoyed the water and the views. Highly recommend having him accompany you to help with navigation and info on the area. Great guy, loves what he’s doing and goes out of his way to make sure you enjoy the experience on the water. Great experience.

Roger was super nice even though we ran late. Had a great experience on water and Rogers farm. Made it to the beach and had a nice swim. Make sure to check out his ranch with horses and other animals.
