Finished proofing the GPS route through Bayou Gravenburg yesterday, with two other kayakers, Shawn and Jeramie. On the way back, Jeramie found a fairly stiff Gar hanging from somebody's fishing line. Pictures are here. Gravenburg is a cypress and tupelo swamp, like Bayou Benoit, but bigger. A lot of crawfishermen have traps back in there, and somebody has kindly marked a route by nailing bucket lids to some of the trees.
You have to paddle down a river to get to Gravenburg, and make your way through a narrow little cut lined with sycamores and swamp maples. If you miss the cut, there's another that's usually a short portage, a little further down.
Really, the way to do this paddle is to take the river all the way to the bottom, about three miles, and then paddle back up through the swamp.
I'm going to put up a page on the forum for each of the trails as we proof the points, and start modifying the trails page.
