Two Quapaw employees, Charles Wright and TommyOwen take their canoes out on the Sunflower River in Clarksdale, Mississippi. I (Tommy Owen) enjoy the river very much, and wish it was getting more attention from other residents and tourist alike. It certainly is overlooked as a paddling river. It's tranquil, placid, and home for a variety of wildlife. Stuck in the city of Clarksdale and ever wondered what it is like in the natural side of the Delta? Sunflower River! Summer fun isaround the corner, however during the spring and fall it can be just as enjoyable. During the winter explore the river banks and discover nature frozen in time. on August 10th,Charles and I took our canoes out and headed upstream to see what wecould find, and to see how much natural blockage had occurredfrom falling trees, rogue branches,and the low water levels.
