Swamp tour
The swamps of eastern Arkansas are beautiful for canoeing and kayaking, but may not be destinations paddlers think of when planning a trip. Arkansas Water Trails, a program of the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission, aims to change that. Canoe and kayak trails have been blazed through some of these swamps, much like hiking trails, to guide paddlers through and prevent them from getting lost. A group of paddlers who are working to establish these swampland trails traveled the Bayou De View water trail on Nov. 9, not far from where the ivory-billed woodpecker was seen and videotaped in 2004.
