Loggy Bayou WMA Kayak Trip
Kayak paddle route trail map in the Loggy Bayou WMA, just below the dam at Lake Bistineau. The launch for Loggy Bayou is at the end of Poole Road off of Highway 71. The area requires the Louisiana two permit system, an annual WMA pass and an on site day use permit that you fill out and return the same day. Loggy Bayou itself is a muddy flatwater paddle. Upstream of the launch the river splits and the route goes to the right. This channel narrows quite a bit as you go up and towards the dam things get shallow and weedy. The left hand channel would probably be easier to paddle to the dam, Saw one alligator.
