Product Description

One of the Top 40 “Best” Canoe-Camping Trips in the USA….
The lower Neches (nay-chez) is a Wild & Scenic River that meanders slowly past the Big Thicket National Preserve region of Southeastern Texas.

The Neches River offers paddlers & campers outstanding scenery including Cypress/Tupelo Sloughs, Bluffs, oxbow lakes and a mixed Pine-Hardwood forest.  Snow-white sandbars lend themselves for day use and excellent primitive campsites.  Wildlife sightings are frequent and aquatic life is healthy.

A pristine watershed relatively free of humans and man-made endeavors, these Wild & Scenic River Adventures offer canoe-campers an adventure they won’t soon forget.
