Question about pearl river Kayaking?? canoeing?

Lh

If you are on Facebook, look up Keith Plunkett. He is a big 'yaker and knows most of the good trips around here. He actually has a Alzheimers charity that raises money through Kyak trips. Really cool guy.

They do afternoon trips all the time.

I've been seeing a couple of guys come out of Twin Harbor a lot lately. Not you by chance?

Where is twin harbor??

North part of the Madison side. Come out Hoy Rd from 51 and turn left on North Old Canton ( I think). It will take you right out there to Twin Harbor.

Hey rusty,

I've never floated the extreme southern part of the Pearl-where they say it's absolutely beautiful- but I venture to say our end of the Pearl is the most beautiful part I have seen so far. When the water is right it is superb floating. Also it's free of the major erosion issues that the Pearl has after it leaves the Rez. Those banks get waterlogged then after drawdown they are exposed and just sloth off into the river.

I love "Pearl" it is very unique and beautiful. I floated from 15 to 19 a couple of times. Love paddling back up in the refuge. Just flat out purty.

I went with a buddy from lefleurs all the way to the spillway. I dont see any problem being able to float it. It has some awesome sand bars. Only issue i saw was GATORS galore. No way in heck my wife is gonna go for that> Maybe with a big group. Also i bought the book and im gonna check it out. Ill be hollering at some of yall.

It's not bad at all. This year the race was kind of unusual. The wind was blowing about 20mph and it caused some pretty big swells. I think 4 kayaks and no canoes flipped. No loss of life or kayaks. BluzCruz has a Facebook page and there are a couple of videos that participants took while paddling. You should check them out. One day this summer after the river has gone down 20 or 30 feet you'll have to drive over and we can paddle upriver a ways so you can see what it's like. I have people look at me like I'm crazy and tell me they'd never get on the river in a jon boat, much less a canoe. Nine times out of ten those are the folks that have only seen the river while driving over it in their cars.
