Yes, we’ve heard the same thing. The water level was about perfect for our float. But we did still have several boats turn over.

Absolutely! My sister flipped in November one year and the current was so strong we couldn’t get to her for at least 30 minutes. Thank goodness we had a med kit with a warming/solar blanket. She was purple 😅😬

Yes! We went early in the spring, so they weren’t super active, but it would probably be very active in the summer.

Oh yes that was a long haul out with boats…but totally worth it for this float! We put in at the Sipsey River Picnic Area off Cranal Road. It’s $3 to park there. We took out on the left, past the 33 bridge. To park at the take out spot, going south on 33, turn left before you get to the bridge. Thanks for the follow! Hope y’all have fun if you end up doing the float!

How long of a float is that and was there any good camping spots on the banks?

We take our time when we float, so it was an all day affair. 8 hours from put in to take out. Paddling, it would probably take 5-6 hours. It's about a 10 mile stretch.

Thank you! Any good sand bars to camp?

We saw one group very early in the float packing up a camp site on a small bank, so there's at least one spot, but I recall there were limited sandbars at least on this stretch of the river. Sorry! I'm afraid we won't be much help with the camping bit - that's not something we usually look in to. Check out Southern Paddler. He does some camping, although I can't remember if he's done camping on this same float or not.

Thanks! You have a good year as well!

Thanks! It was fun!

Thanks! Couldn’t get enough of those views. 😍

Haha thanks I’ll keep you updated. 😂

Have fun!!! We won’t be going back out west till February this season.

Thanks! It’s been a great canoe over the years but it drug a bit on Cypress. Ha!

@@justhangingaround3359 Lol- I'm sure!! 🤣

We put in at the Sipsey River Picnic area off Canal road. It’s $3 to park there. We took out past the 33 bridge, on the left. There are pink ribbons hanging in a nearby tree. There’s no markers or signs for the parking area at the take out spot. Going south on 33, turn left onto a gravel driveway before you get to the bridge on the road.

@@justhangingaround3359 about how long did it take?

It took us about 8 hours from put in to take out. However, we stopped and fished quite a bit, and also stopped for a while to help out some of our guys who flipped over. I bet if you paddled, it would be 5-6 hours.

Thanks! It’s always good time. Maybe we’ll see you out there one day! 😄

You say when @southernpaddler lol!

Thanks! We will definitely be going back. It was so gorgeous. We actually watched some of your videos to see what the 100 yard dash was like! We enjoyed them!

@@justhangingaround3359 That's awesome- thank you!! 😁 I noticed the 100-yard dash in yours. The flow was 250 & 550 the two times I've done it. A buddy did it last weekend at 100 CFS and said it was great.

Thank you!!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

We put in at the Sispey River Picnic Area off of Cranal Road (you can map it and there are signs). You have to pay $3 per car to park there. And then we took out right past the 33 bridge, to the left . There are pink ribbons hanging in a tree nearby. To park at the take out spot, going south on 33, you turn left right before the 33 bridge. There’s no signs or markers. Just a gravel driveway off the road. But it’s BEFORE the bridge on the road. We’ve only done it once but we’ve read online that it’s best to float November through May, due to the water levels getting too low during the summer months. We had lots of fun! There were a couple of tight spots during the float due to fallen trees, and the 100 yard dash (class 2 rapid) wasn’t as rough as we’ve seen it on other videos, I think because the water was already getting lower by early May. But it was still a blast!

Thanks for watching!

@@justhangingaround3359 no problem! We really enjoy making outdoor videos also

Thanks! We try to have fun with it.

Thanks for our first sub! Especially from Ireland!! We hope to have more content in the future. Our insta will be more active for now, while we figure out this video editing thing, but thanks for the love. 🥰
