I’m looking to do a multi day one or two night paddling trip near the end of June in either Texas, Louisiana or Arkansas. Ideally somewhere with relatively consistent water level and good fishing. I’m familiar with Buffalo River but with the fluctuating water levels it’s difficult to plan a trip for me. I’m open to both inland rivers and coastal areas. I’ve got a good bit of experience both kayaking and canoeing inland as well as sea trips. Just trying to get recommendations on places I can research and potentially go. I’m in the Dallas area and ideally want to drive no further than 8-10 hours but for the right spot I might extend that range.
Trips on the Buffalo River below Gilbert in the summer generally are doable. I think the scenery is still nice. It's the upper part of the Buffalo that is hard to catch at a floatable level; not high or low. I made one trip from Carver to Woolum during low flow. We just had to walk a few riffles.
