Bayou Chapter - Caney Lakes Hike
Event Details
Caney Hike
When: Monday 1/17/22 at 8:30 am
Where: Caney Lake Recreation Area https://goo.gl/maps/h3vfyfrVSk2UoqVm6
Cost: There is a $5 per vehicle fee. Stop at the iron ranger (check-in spot) to put your 5$ in envelope (remember to tear off the part to put on your dash) and place envelope in slot.
Parking/Instructions: Meeting/parking at the Upper Caney Lake Boat Launch. There are 2 different boat launches in this recreational area so don’t go to the wrong one… we are meeting at the UPPER Caney boat launch that is near the campground. Upon entering the park (after stopping to pay your $5) turn LEFT and follow the signs toward the campground. Look for boat launch sign on right after about a mile(?) or less.
Duration: We’re hiking the Lost Woman/Lost Man Trail AND the Clockwork Orange Trail (for a total of around 6 miles) which should take about 3 hours “ish”.
Difficulty: This trail actually has some sections of inclines to climb so I would say it’s a “moderate” intensity hike
What to bring: The “usual”… water, bug spray, hiking stick if needed.
Pets: These trails are dog-friendly (must be leashed; be prepared to pick up after your pet)
Other: Bring a small garbage bag if you’re willing to help pick up/carry out any trash we run across from the trails.
