Fall Color Bayou Float, Arkansas Post, Saturday, Nov. 8

[seark]

Join National Park Service staff for a fall color float on Moore and Post Bayous. We will meet at the Moore Bayou boat ramp at 10am this Saturday and will paddle around Arkansas Post National Memorial until Noon enjoying the fall colors and wildlife. Sharp-eyed floaters may spot an Eagle's nest, beaver lodges and sunning alligators. The park has a beautiful picnic area you can enjoy after the float. This is a nice, quiet water trip perfect for families. Dogs are allowed on leashes in the park but we do not recommend bringing them on the float. Call or email Jodi Morris, 870-548-2207, jodi_morris@nps.gov, to reserve your spot. One canoe and one kayak are available for loan to participants who don't have their own boat. Of course, everyone should bring their own lifejacket, cameras and binoculars.
