Trip up Dorcheat Bayou

Trip up Dorcheat Bayou with Narris Canoe Outfitters was really a great unforgettable experience. You'll really want to check out is their 37-foot cedar reproduction of the huge canoes used by 18th century French Voyagers during the heyday of the fur trade. This massive canoe can hold up to sixteen people and their supplies quite comfortably.
