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

This may include staffing for that day, transportation to and from the schools by buses, or building materials for our workshop space called the Eagle Lodge. This building is designed as a multiple purpose educational lodge for hosting earth skills workshops, hosting staff and special guests, and more. We are also looking for used kayaks, canoes, building materials, treated and untreated lumber and woodworking tools. So please consider those donations if that is something for can afford to donate.
