On normal years beginning in late December and January, the heavy rains in the upper Red, Ohio and Mississippi River valley flood waters will be heading southward to Louisiana making its way into and and entering the Atchafalya River at the three rivers area north of Simsport Louisiana. From there flowing southward entering the Atchafalya Basin, rising water levels will mean more access to those swamps and areas off the normal low water travel routes, these areas will usually be accessible into July and August. As your boat captain (and I am a real license USCG Captain) and tour guide, we will travel on boat trails making our way through the swamps that I have figured out how to travel through . So get ready, bundle up, get on board and let’s travel into one of the largest contiguous flowing, fresh water river swamp. Remember, any questions about scheduling your boat tour call or text. 337-257-4889

The Atchafalya Basin is always changing, from spring time to winter, from flood waters to low water levels. Now that the days are getting cooler, the alligator sighting are slowly being replaced by the American Bald Eagles. They will be here for the winter mating and building nest, swooping down to the water catching fish to eat. On warm sunny midday and afternoons sometimes up until December you can sometimes see the alligators.
