If you want to chill, and not have to be surrounded by strangers who are probably peeing in the water right next to your tube, take an adventure out to Sandy Bottoms! There was even a mud shelf where we could dive off & we did...over and over again! It's super easy to find too. The one bad side was that there was a long wait of about 40 minutes to get on a bus to the river because they had one person stationed at the tent taking money & one guy running people back and forth with the van. It was a super long wait in the sun, as there's no shade. But again, sooooo worth it. The staff was amazing & really made it up to us.

The river was beautiful, and there were many beaches -- some sandy, some rocky -- where you could pull off for awhile. We loved that there weren't a whole bunch of people on the river. If you like a quieter paddling excursion, this is definitely it. If you're debating between a tube or a kayak, we liked the kayaks better. Do wear shoes!

We did the trip from Brooklyn to Cypress Landing in about 9 hours of travel with moderate paddling. Pay attention to your safety brief because they give a good description of your halfway point. We stopped on the first night before reaching it and had some extra paddling to do the next day. They warned us of one newly-downed tree that spanned the river, but said they would be out to work on it before the season picked up. We hit Cypress Creek right at our pickup time and our ride was there waiting for us. They do all of the heavy lifting during put-in and take-out. All you have to do is load up and shove off. The river itself had many bends, and was about 2/3 shallow with a fast current and the rest deep with little to no current. There were many stumps and downed branches to maneuver around, but no part of the river was impassable. It's impossible to get lost; simply stay in the widest part of the river and follow the current. There were numerous sand and gravel beaches that would make for a good picnic or campsite. The Black Creek Hiking Trail runs along the right side of the river--at times you can clearly see it--and provides a ready source of firewood.

The WORST experience ever! Gators put us in a very dangerous situation where we came out clearly…read moreseverely dehydrated, lacerations from river debris, bruised from head to toe, an injured leg plus one back. The staff is not knowledgeable of current river conditions and has such poor work ethics that they do not check their boats before launching. About an hour into our 5 hour kayaking trip our our double kayak sprung a leak. The boat started to take on water so fast we could not balance it. We beached it to check it out and fortunately were able to flag down the only people we saw all day to borrow their phone. Upon calling Gators they said "what do you want me to do about it" and hung up. No help. Soooo we beached our kayak and swim for FOUR HOURS in 100 degree weather with 1 bottle of water; until we reached a highway and could flag down help. The 4 hour swim left us severely dehydrated, covered in abrasions, banged up, a hurt leg and a hurt back. Returning back to Gators we were told they had 4 to sink last week. This customer service is unacceptable. Some one is going to die out there!!

Please do not use Crystal G. as a reference to the abilities or in abilities of Gator Rental. As a…read morecanoeing and kayaking instructor and very experienced with this river, I would like to express my opinion on her account of her trip. I read her review and found that most of her complaints were self inflicted. Severely dehydrated, she should have brought more water and maybe less alcohol. Bruised from head to toe. No employee from Gator's told her to swim into or pushed her into the logs. The staff is not knowledgeable of current river conditions. Did she ask them about current river conditions? If not, then she does not know the extent of their knowledge. Most people can look at a body of water and make their own conclusions. This river has a significant current and is full of logs. About an hour into our 5 hour kayaking trip our double kayak sprung a leak. Maybe it sprung a leak because they rammed it into a snag or two or ten. Not Gator's fault she can't steer the kayak. They flagged down someone and used their phone. So phones are allowed and have signal. Not Gator's fault they chose not to bring a phone. Upon calling Gators they said "what do you want me to do about it" and hung up. If a Gator's employee responded that way, THAT IS VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. But what did she want them to do? She probably could not tell them where they were and if she could tell them where they were, to get to them in a timely manner would probably require trespassing (That is illegal). Many different people, including me, own property on the river. I do admit that maybe all of the canoe rental facilities should be required to have a boat capable of traveling on this river readily available. I know the Sheriff Dept. does patrol the river routinely. Soooo we beached our kayak and swim for FOUR HOURS in 100 degree weather. They were ok with kayaking in 100 degree weather. If they were swimming in 100 degree weather, it should have been cooler in the water than in a kayak. As I stated at the beginning, JUST my opinion

I've never floated the Bogue Chitto but I did a river float in Hot Springs, Arkansas a few years back and this was way more relaxing and organized. Easy float that would be kid friendly (would probably do the two hour one though) since there's not too many obstacles/rapids and lots of beaches to stop at. Took me less than a 1.5 hours to get here from NOLA and took my friends about 1.5 to get here from BR.10/10 recommend this and I will definitely be back!
