John Wiggins Bayou, Lost River, Hugo Point Park

Map Paddle Kayak John Wiggins Bayou, Hugo Point Park, Lost River

Kayak trail map in the Trinity River bottom near Houston. Even after multiple trips it is still confusing how the various channels here relates positionally to everything else. This trip, and several others, launch out of Hugo Point County Park, south of I-10 at Cove. Once during hunting season the boat launch must have had 50, 60 trucks in it so I left. Usually it’s less busy and is a good place to launch north into Old River, Lost River, and Lost Lake. It’s a mile or two up to the I-10 bridge and this stretch can be pretty shallow, especially near the shore. The goal for this trip was to explore John Wiggins Bayou. This bayou branches off Lost River to the east and its possible to go way up there, quite complicated. Lots of alligators.
