Itinerary
Take an adventure through Mississippi river backwaters surrounded by islands teeming with life and full of beautiful tall trees.

Early spring and Fall bring huge flocks of migrating waterfowl. There are several Bald Eagle nests in the area. In late summer acres of lily pads bloom huge beautiful yellow American Lotus flowers. Start times are flexible and may need to change base...
