Event Details

Tammy will be leading a paddle at Grand Ecore on November 26, 2021.  Come on out and burn off those Thanksgiving calories.  This will be a loop paddle down Bayou Pierre to the Red River.  If we’re lucky, there will be a beautiful white sand bar to take a break on.  I’ve seen eagles, raccoons and alligator tracks on this paddle.  The Grand Ecore Visitor’s Center is nearby and includes a wealth of information on the area.  We found it very interesting with beautiful views from the highest bluffs on the Red River.
