Start on Rutherford Beach Road, where you’ll paddle for 9 miles in shallow water. The area is serene and secluded, perfect for a mindful solo paddle or meditative trip with friends.
Begin your trip to nearby Sam Houston Jones State Park, where Bayou Adventure provides self-serve paddle rentals. Later, enjoy a hike through the park followed by a sunset bonfire.
