The 9.2 mile Neches-Davy Crockett Paddling Trail makes a perfect half-day paddle. The trail stretch is bordered in the west by the Davy Crockett National Forest boundary. Paddlers along the Neches might see deer, alligators, otters and many bird species such as Barred Owl, Belted King Fisher, Wood Ducks and more.
The trail debuted in early June 2010 as part of The Texas Paddling Trails program, coordinated by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
"The Trail is just one reason that this region is a destination for a fabulous outdoor adventure."

The waterways of Big Thicket National Preserve draw boating enthusiasts from all over Texas, the country, and the world. Big Thicket has two official canoeing trails, but these are just a fraction of the canoeing, kayaking, and other boating experiences the preserve affords, which also include wild-river experiences along the Neches River and the primal pleasures of paddling through cypress and tupelo swamps in Pine Island Bayou. Boating is permitted from April through October. Read more>
