The BCCC is a recreational
organization consisting of over 180 member households representing the Memphis,
Tennessee area with members located throughout the tri-state area, that love to
paddle the rivers, streams and lakes of the Mid South. The BCCC was organized
March 5, 1967 with the purpose being to develop, through membership, an
interest in and an appreciation of the Mid South Area as related to the use of
its natural and wild waterways for outdoor recreation and activities such as
canoeing, camping and float fishing, and to cooperate with other organizations
which are working toward the conservation and preservation of wilderness areas
and streams.
Trips are offered approximately every
other weekend from January through December. They range from family outings on
Class I rivers to trips for expert kayakers and canoeists. The club regularly
paddles regional rivers; however members have traveled nationally for extended
paddling trips. Experienced leaders, who are not only familiar with the rivers,
organize outings, plan shuttles, campgrounds and provide lists of canoe
rentals.
The club is devoted to the enjoyment
of the outdoors through canoeing, hiking, camping and biking. Not all trips
involve paddling. Some are for several days of hiking, a bike trip here and
there, even trips such as a week at
