Planning on a kayak/canoe float trip somewhere near Baton Rouge with some friends in 2027 probably around March or April.

Any recommendations for this?
Hoping for a 2 day deal and camp overnight on a river bank or something.

Best places to go, services to use, etc?

We did the Bogue Chitto for one night back in college, me and a buddy and our gf's.

My buddy and his gf flipped their canoe within 5 minutes of being in the water, it was spring break and got pretty chilly at night. Their tent and all their clothes got wet, and they were miserable the rest of the trip.

I remember going ahead of them and trying to scoop up all the Miller Lite Ice that they lost from their ice chest. Yes, it was the 1990's!

We've done village creek North of Beaumont before and it wasn't bad. Your probably looking at a 2 hour drive anyway for anything decent around BR.

Could put in on Amite River around BR or even North of BR. Get picked up at Fred's or thereabouts. May wanna make sure your dates don't coincide with turkey season.

Did this with the wife and kids during Covid. We put in at Hwy 37 and went down to Magnolia Bridge Road in Central. It was the right distance for a 2 day trip with a leisurely pace day 1 and a little more constant pace on day 2. Stopped a little more than halfway and camped on a sandbar.
