Texas Paddling Trails

Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife and the Sport Fish and Wildlife Restoration Program

Texas offers paddlers a growing number of trails.

The paddling trail program at Texas Parks and Wildlife is mostly about the people of the state of Texas and the communities that have these wonderful rivers running through them.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Rivers Specialist Ron Smith says communities and citizens benefit from paddling trails.

Our goal is to partner with communities and people of the state to bring more people out to these recreation areas and improve the access to these recreation areas. I think most of the people who use these accesses and waterways are wonderful folks who love the environment, who support our conservation ethic, and they can help the community by bringing economic factors and bringing more awareness to the water and what we should and shouldn’t be doing in those areas.
