GET WET: For a good time [splash SFX] just add water] 
 ... details ahead on Passport to Texas. 

This is Passport to Texas

Autumn is gaining on us...and no self-respecting Texan 
would allow an entire summer to go by without spending 
time in or on the water. 

Fortunately, state parks provide opportunities for both. 

Want to do a little kayaking, but don't want to go it alone? 
This month you can join a ranger for a two-hour, three 
mile long guided kayak trip through the Martin Dies Jr.'s 
State park's swampy marshes and the Neches River. Be on 
the lookout for wildlife such as bald eagles, belted 
kingfishers, herons, turtles and alligators. Find the 
schedule on the calendar at texasstateparks.org. 

Make tracks - or is that waves - to any Texas inland or 
coastal paddling trail. These trails provide well-mapped 
accessible day trips in a variety of settings, for all levels 
of paddling experience. Find trail maps online.

Anglers experience a new perspective on the sport by 
casting a line from a kayak or canoe. It's simple to do, and 
you can find tips on the TPW website.

There's still time to get neck-deep in cool water, as the 
hot days are quite over. No matter where you live in 
Texas, there's a state park with a pool, lake, river, creek, 
or even ocean just waiting for you to dive in. 

Find information about all the wet and wild opportunities 
in Texas on the Texas Parks and Wildlife website.
