Sabine River / Toro Bayou
The Sabine River and Toro Bayou offer excellent opportunities for canoers. If you have your own boat, you can easily put in at Hadden's Ferry, the Burr Ferry Bridge, or Riverbend Canoe Rentals. Tack-A-Paw Expeditions has canoes for rent, and they'll even make arrangements to pick you up at your destination. They have several plans to suit your needs - some longer, some shorter; some easier, some harder. Leave your vehicle at Riverbend Canoe Rentals and they'll take you upriver and drop you off, leaving you to paddle back to their office using one of their rental canoes or your own canoe or kayak.
