Kayaking in the NOLA Bayou
This video is about Kayaking in the NOLA Bayou
Kayaking - Intracoastal waterway @ Louisiana
A 2.63 mile (5.2 miles round-trip or more if one wants) kayaking trail. slow moving current, wide channels for a good 2 miles before it narrows down yet navigable. Canopy & lots of alligators. There are two houses/camps to the right before junction(while going in), the curve and the junction with no dredge sign which can be used as land marks.
Also the bridge from where I launched can be used as a point of navigation coming back. The round trip me took 2.5 hours with some breaks.

Kayaking Manchac Swamp near New Orleans with Beyond the Bayou Tours
Today (3-26-17) I went with Jake from Beyond the Bayou Tours to kayak the Manchac Swamp on the west bank of the Mississippi River. The swamp is eerie but gorgeous and very serene. We saw a couple of very large brown barn owls perched on the trees scanning for frogs, several small gators (largest being 5.5'), several water snakes, and made friends with quite a few cricket frogs that jumped into our kayaks to hitch a ride. However, unfortunately none of them were identifiable in any of my videos because they all camo'd themselves so well. This is definitely a great eco-tour adventure for when you're ready to escape the debauchery of the French Quarter.
Bayou Camping | New Orleans, Louisiana | Bayou Segnette State Park
On this trip we wanted to escape the cold weather in Arkansas, so we drove south to New Orleans, Louisiana. We camped at Bayou Segnette State Park . This was an amazing experience. Nice facilities, and great campground. With a short 15 min drive to the French Quarter, this made for a great location to set up camp. One of the main desires was to eat at some amazing places. Below is a list of all the places we enjoyed.
-Saint Lawrence
-Cafe Du Monde
-Napoleon House
-Nola Brewing Tap Room
-SoBou Restaurant
-French Truck Coffee
-Slim Goodies Diner
Also on the trip we rented bikes and explored all of downtown New Orleans. We rented bikes from FreeWheelin' Bike Tours & Rental. The crew here was amazing, and had great bikes.

Bike then take ini Illinois river cruise powered by a mule!
Now this Illinois and Lake Michigan canal towpath is a wonderful 61 mile bike trail with several stops along the way at the historic Illinois villages of La Salle, Utica, Ottawa, Marseille, Seneca, Morris and Channalhon. From 1848 to 1900, the canal on the bustled with commerce. In the first years, thousands of people boarded crowded packet boats on their way to transact business in the canal towns, St. Louis and New Orleans, or settle the west. Later, when railroads replaced the canal for passengers, canal boats continued to transport thousands of tons of freight.
The years between 1800 and 1850 have been characterized as the Canal Era in U. S. history. Since the birth of the new nation, American leaders recognized the urgent need for a network of internal improvements to ease the problem of continental transportation. The success of the Erie Canal, completed in 1825, marked a period of intensive canal building in the U. S. This chapter in our nation’s history has been largely overlooked, as most historians have focused on the railroads as the prime force behind America’s economic development.
Construction of the I&M Canal and the sale of canal lands brought thousands of people streaming into northeastern Illinois in the mid to late 1830s, and those who braved the hazards of this frontier outpost quickly realized the necessity of improving transportation. Contemporary accounts of stagecoach travel emphasize the perils and discomforts of traversing rutted paths that passed for roads. Much of the region consisted of wet prairie, and spring rains and melting snow turned the trails into quagmires.
Few events in Chicago’s history were more eagerly anticipated than the opening of the Illinois and Michigan Canal. The digging of the most massive public works project ever attempted in the young state of Illinois, digging began on July 4, 1836. Many hoped the canal could be completed in a few years, but in 1837 the nation suffered its first major depression, and by 1840, Illinois teetered toward bankruptcy. Work on the canal largely ceased until New York, English, and French financiers invested $1.6 million to jump-start the stalled project in 1845. It took 12 years of on-again, off-again labor to construct the canal, which finally opened in April of 1848.
