Saline Bayou (National Scenic River). South of Goldonna, Louisiana. My wife and I have been wanting to buy a canoe. Well, a friend said I can borrow his whenever I want, because it sits there "three hundred and sixty four days a year."
"How about this weekend?" I asked him. Sure, where you going to go? "Ummm, I was thinking Bayou Pierre..." Then he was like "nah, that one's pretty much just an irrigation canal. Go check out Saline Bayou. It used to be great before they dammed it off at the river."
"I've passed over it a few times. Looks like a good one to go try out." I tell him. So today my wife, daughter, and I loaded up the truck and went down to da bayah'. This was my 2 year old daughter's first canoe trip. GPS tracks indicated 4 miles of (ME) paddling. Was a great time. Didnt see much wildlife other than a few herons and egrets.
We werent too impressed with this section of the river, so we decided to check out the Bayou where it entered the north side of the lake.
Loaded up the canoe.... and traveled down an awesomely BAD paved road to Goldonna, La. Took a right on a semi-residential street.
