| With something for everyone, the Mexican States of Veracruz and San Luis Potosi are definitely worth a whitewater-paddling visit. The area offers everything from scenic class II-III runs for intermediate paddlers to class III-V epic canyons and waterfalls. What’s remarkable is the proximity of multiple (fairly easy to access) day runs, each with its own uniqueness and incredible scenery. |

| I intend to paddle the Big Muddy about 50 miles over a long weekend in a couple of weeks with a group of friends. We’ve done it several times before, but the low water levels this year leave me wondering what’s in store. Our ideal water level is 30’ at Natchez and it’s been as high as 48’. However this year is looking more like 12-14’. The sandbars will stretch for miles and driftwood for campfires may be 1/4 mile from the shore. I’m looking forward to it, as it’s always an adventure. The river changes every year. Has anyone else paddled it with the river so low like it is now? |

| Stand Up Paddling is a great and fun way to explore the world on the water while getting a bit of exercise. Once you get the hang of it you might even think you can just grab your board and paddle and venture into the great unknown. While this sounds romantic, it is important you consider your safety before paddling out. After all, the weather and water can change in an instant, turning a beautiful day into a dangerous one. |
