ARMAND BAYOU KAYAK TOUR
Houston, TX
The bayou, while surrounded by urban development, remains one of the few relatively pristine waterways in the Houston area. Its unique character was recognized when it was designated as one of only four Coastal Preserves found along the Texas Coast. Lands adjacent to the bayou provide a glimpse of riparian coastal flatland forest and tall grass prairie habitats that were once abundant in the area. The area is rich in wildlife and is known for a diverse bird fauna where more than 220 species can be found. Common birds seen in the area include osprey, roseate spoonbill, egrets, herons, pelicans and many others.
Our put-in is the boat launch at Bay Area Park where restroom and picnic facilities are available. We will customize a short introduction to kayaking class tailored to your group's needs before launching on our journey 3 miles upstream. Bring your binoculars for close up wildlife and flora viewing! We will take a short on-the-water break before undertaking the return leg of the journey.
