Collins River Paddle

Today Sara joined Brandy, Jan, and us on the Collins river. We put in at the Dunlap campground on Hennessee Bridge Road in Rock Island. This is a nice campground right on the river with a good ramp.

As we went down stream we explored all the inlets and found some beautiful waterfalls, caves, and cascades. We got to see all sorts of birds. There were not many boats out, so it was a peaceful trip on a beautiful section of the river. We got out at the TWRA Kings landing boat ramp. We got in around 5.5 miles today. Great trip with some great people!

Barren Fork - Collins River

Lora and I went to McMinnville to do a little canoe action.  We put in at River Front park on the Barren Fork of the Collins River.  We went West three miles to the island, had lunch, and headed back.  There is a really pretty waterfall and probably another one in wet weather on the North bank.  We saw lots of turtles, geese, ducks, and deer.  Beautiful trip with good water for canoeing or kayaking.
