A Clinch River Kayak Adventure
The Clinch River rises near Tazewell, Virginia, and flows southwest for more than 300 miles (480 km) through the Great Appalachian Valley, gathering various tributaries, including the Powell River, before joining the Tennessee River in Kingston, Tennessee.
The Clinch River is dammed twice: by Norris Dam, the first dam built by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA); and by the Melton Hill Dam, the only TVA dam with a navigation lock that is not located on the main channel of the Tennessee River.
An important tributary of the Clinch River is the Powell River. The Clinch and Powell River drainage basins are separated by Powell Mountain. Tributaries entering the Clinch River below Norris Dam but above Melton Hill Dam include Coal Creek, Hinds Creek, Bull Run Creek, and Beaver Creek. Poplar Creek enters the river below the Melton Hill Dam.

Meet the Boat
I built me a raft and she's ready for floatin'! Ol' Mississippi has been callin' the Moon Schooner since it was just a dream! Step by step pictures of how Captain John built this 14 x 32 shanty boat in the back yard and progress to what it has grown into 19 years later! She weighs about 10k pounds when fully provisioned and is pushed by a 60 hp Mercury big foot outboard motor. See the structure that held out in 10-foot waves when a storm popped up on the great Lake Michigan!!
Kayaking Superior National Forest In Northern Minnesota
Recently we were vacationing east of International Falls in northern Minnesota. We stayed on a Houseboat on Lake Kabetogama. It's a giant lake that flows into other lakes in the area.
I took my Tsunami 125 with me and spent lots of time out on the water. We were fortunate enough to get some really nice weather.
I've had the good fortune to have traveled Minnesota's border lakes in canoe, kayak, speed boat, & houseboat.
I so treasure the time I get to spend on the water with friends, family, and nature.
I shot this video one morning on Lake Kabatogama as I was heading back to our houseboat for breakfast. What a gorgeous way to wake up!

Lake Houston Wilderness Park, Unique Destination, Motorcycle travel, Texas
Lake Houston Wilderness Park; Be on the lookout for the Rabbit, Raccoon we caught on camera.
Today we are going to visit the Unique Destination of the Lake Houston Wilderness Park. On the northern side of Lake Houston.
The Lake Houston Wilderness Park encompasses 4,786.6 acres of wooded parkland, that’s located approximately 30 minutes north of downtown Houston off Highway 59 near the town of New Caney. The park’s entrance is located at 25840 FM 1485 in New Caney. It can be reached from U.S. 59 North and then heading east on F.M. 1485 for 3 miles.
This the largest Park the City of Houston operates and with $6 million dollars of recent upgrades to the roads, buildings, and preservation areas the park has been turned into a diamond that’s content to remain in the rough.
You have to (Bring your own bikes, watercraft, and horses). The longest trek available is the 7.6-mile AmeriTrail, which, at its southern terminus, promises a mysterious yet intriguing “Swamp Overlook.”
There are several spots on the two rivers where you can swim in the shallow waters and sunbathe on some very small sandy beaches. The park is a wilderness park and is heavily forested, so visitors need to be aware that wildlife in the park includes several species of snakes. Please remember that conditions on natural waterways change without warning, so keep safety in mind as you paddle and swim in the creeks.
Lake Houston Wilderness Park is not currently an access point for boating on Lake Houston. The park takes advantage of the woods along the creeks and rivers that empty into the lake but does not front onto the lake. Canoes can navigate Peach and Caney Creeks, although there may be low points that require portage.
The Lake Houston Wilderness Park Nature Center is a fun and educational place for young and old alike. It is open from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday. The center opened its doors on November 9, 2007, through the generosity of George Mitchell. It offers displays of forest and wetland habitats, amphibians, reptiles, and invertebrates, and a mural depicting the life cycle of butterflies.
These newly designed and built cabins aren’t just any cabins, they were designed by a local architectural firm MC2. Showing off the impressive views of the man-made lake with the creature comforts of the modern home, from screened-in front porches with rocking chairs for enjoying a quiet evening outside to microwaves, refrigerators and air conditioning inside. Right down to leather couches and chairs to expand your enjoyment of the tranquil sounds of nature as you relax.
For those not staying overnight, Lake Houston Wilderness Park charges a daily $3 admission fee, which covers everything from access to its mountain biking trails to the regular line-up of classes offered through its Nature Center.
Saturday and Sundays offer a wide range of different events to help any inexperienced outdoorsman with information on the unique creatures found in the area and how they help the ecosystem. On Sunday there’s a weekly staple: a free, guided nature hike that starts at 8 a.m. sharp and takes guests through a highlight reel of sorts, showing off the best trails in the park and giving an overview of the wildlife found in the area.
Mosquitoes are part of the forest environment so for your own comfort, remember to use mosquito repellant.
The State of Texas purchased 4,584.22 acres from Champion Paper Company in 1981, and an additional 202.4 acres from the San Jacinto Girl Scout Council in 1990. Home to Peach Creek Girl Scout Camp since the mid-1950s, this second section came complete with campsites, lodges, and an equestrian area.
The camp facilities were updated by the state as the basis for Lake Houston State Park. The park was opened by the state for day use in 1992, and overnight camping was instituted in 1995. In August of 2006, the park was transferred to the Houston Parks and Recreation Department.
On August 25, 2006, Lake Houston Wilderness Park became Houston's newest park property.
In 2015, a one-lane bridge was built over Peach Creek to improve access to remote areas of the park.
There is parking down in the park near the Peach Creek Bridge along with restrooms. There is a playground by the Nature Center and small cook outstations with limited picnic tables for the occasional family picnic.
While we were traveling through the park, we saw a Racoon by the bridge, and a rabbit ran across the road on our way down to the pond. We traveled all the way to the power lines when we noticed a heard of deer grazing in the grass, unfortunately, we had run out of battery back a bit and didn’t get them on tape. On our way out we stopped by a tree that had natural lemons growing all over it.
