This is a little off topic, but I was wondering if anyone here has made the boat ride from Jefferson to Caddo. Any information is appreciated regarding obstructions, hazards, etc...
Thanks, J

I've run from Caddo up close to Jefferson in my bass boat, but it's been several years. It's easily doable, but I can't offer any current info on the creek.

Just watch out for fallen trees in the river and sandbars (in the bends) the closer you get to Jefferson.

No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

I made it several times last summer. As long as there aren't any fresh trees down, it's a great ride. It's real nice in the summer because most of it is shaded.

Nice ride! There used to be a large oak just south of Jefferson but it was still passable (as of late fall).
There are some oxbows that may give you a question going towards Jefferson, but pay attention to the current and you'll be fine.
There is one spot where there's an island and a couple of trees in the middle of the river. If you're going up-river, go to the LEFT of the island. I've never been on the other side, but I've always heard stay left and always done it.

I fish Big Cypress year round from Jefferson to Caddo. The river has plenty of water right now. Hasn't been this high in a while. You should not have any problem right now. It is a great ride fishing or not.

I would love to do this sometimes...I bet the fishing is good as well.
