We took the canoe out to Aztalan State Park for a short trip down the Crawfish River…
It was a great day for it, being about 70 degrees and sunny, in fact we even got a bit sunburned (which was not good.) The river itself was muddy as heck, and you couldn’t see into the water at all. We did manage to see a bunch of turtles, including a huge snapping turtle.
As far as a canoeing river, it was ok, but not great. I prefer a lot more twists and turns and clearer water…
(Oh, this was also the first attempt at strapping the canoe on top of the CR-V and I’m glad to say that worked out fine as well.)
