Mile 111.0 - Miles 111-108: Avondale Bend/the “River Illusion”
111 - 108 Avondale Bend/the “River Illusion”
As you paddle into Avondale Bend the busy industrial Kenner reach fades away and some quietness returns along with long lines of trees on both sides of the river, giving the illusion of paddling through a wild wooded place. We call this the “river illusion.” The “river illusion” is found on rivers big and small all over the interior of America. I’ve felt it on the Missouri, the Pearl, the Sunflower, the Yazoo, and many others. Enjoy this illusion while it lasts! Industry awaits just around the corner where Chemical Corridor resumes is methodic march of giant refineries, graineries and scrap steel units.
