The route starts at HWY 41 at Red River Canoe Outfitters and takes you along the Red River on an enjoyable journey. Run-a-muck Outfitters next to Port Royal will also shuttle this trip, and you’ll float back to your car. Be sure to take out at Port Royal State Park since there isn’t another public take-out point for nearly 25 miles.
