Took a group paddling in Bayou Benoit yesterday. Benoit is a sprawling cypress and tupelo swamp that runs a couple of miles north and south along the levee near Lake Fausse Pointe. We put in around 9:30 and meandered our way up through the trees for a couple of hours to a shady cypress grove where we stopped and had lunch. Then we saddled up and paddle back in about an hour. Benoit is as nice as Bayou Gravenburg, but with less water hyacinth. The usual anhinga and egrets were out, as well as several osprey.
