Welcome to
Cache Bayou Outfitters
We are a nonprofit organization located on the Cache River Wetlands State Natural Area and Cypress Creek National Wildlife Refuge.
While paddling in a canoe or kayak explorers can expect to encounter deer, beaver, otters, muskrat, wild turkey, a large variety of birds such as bald eagle, herons, egrets and several different species of fish such as gar, smallmouth bass, bowfin, crappie and catfish. There is a 4.6 mile canoe trail loop that provides a path through Bottom land Swamp that returns to the Cache Bayou Outfitters main office. 240 Dean Lane Ullin IL 62992

Our Mission Statment
Our mission is to promote, establish, develop and preserve historic and ecological understandings and ancient ways of life, which will be beneficial in understanding and caring for our natural resources and the health and well-being of people and community. We will achieve this by providing:
1. Educational wildlife tours via canoe, kayak or hiking to individuals, community organizations, schools, and religious groups on the lower Cache River wetlands.
2. Educational primitive technology, nature awareness, and traditional wilderness living skills programs, workshops, and camps for youth and adults to promote self-awareness through a heightened sense of nature and rediscovery of ancient understandings of the natural world.
3. Affordable canoe and kayak rentals to the general public.
