Come to the Pineywoods to explore an environment of loblolly pines, cypress, beech, and magnolia trees. Enjoy beautiful wildflowers and ferns. Relax on pure white pristine sandbars. Meander thru bends and curves discovering turtles and blue herons. Placidly allow your canoe to drift far from the pressures of work. Any season is a great time to canoe the densely forested sections of Southeast Texas. Each season brings its own splendor to the Piney Woods and the Big Thicket. It has landscape filled with natural beauty and wildlife. There is so much to discover here...

Paddling a canoe allows you to be a silent witness on a vast stretch of water where a world of nature completely surrounds you. Of course there are other reasons for your group to participate in a one-day or overnight trip...

You will learn to communicate with each other and the current as you steer your canoe safely in the right direction. You will work together in a self propelled movement, watching a beautiful and diversified forest pass you by on either side.

The movement is peaceful and demands your response as the current quickens. You will strengthen your body and senses as you learn to maneuver precisely through the meandering waters of the Big Thicket and feel a sense of accomplishment after a good day's travel.  Whether you're a beginner or an expert, Piney Woods Outfitters can help you organize the perfect canoe trip for your family or group. Let us share our love of the out-of-doors with an educational and recreational canoeing experience.
