Description:

Discover paddling basics with the guide of a ranger. This program provides a low commitment opportunity and does not require you to paddle an entire trail.

Paddling Basics is a great opportunity to practice paddling before committing to a longer experience. In this program we will discuss boating safety, how to get in and out of the boat, and basic paddling strokes. A ranger will be present in case you get stuck or need help.

When: 10am

Bring: Water shoes, appropriate attire, plenty of water, your own kayak/canoe or rent one (first come, first served).

Cost: Entrance to the park requires the purchase of a $4 day pass or a Texas State Park Pass. Children 12 and under are free.

Youth participants must be accompanied by an adult.
