I'm Lee. I've Been
Doing This A While.

Since 2011, I've helped put a whole lot of people on this river. First-timers, families, groups of friends, scout troops, church groups, corporate teams... and one very stubborn beagle.

After a few thousand trips, you start noticing the little things. What makes a great river day, what trips people enjoy most, and how to make the whole experience easy from the moment you arrive.

On This River Since 2011

How it works

It's Easier Than You Think.

  1. 01

    Pick Your Day.

    Choose your date, launch time, and your boats. Takes about two minutes.

  2. 02

    Show Up.

    Your boats and gear will be waiting. We'll get you checked in and headed downstream.

  3. 03

    We Handle The Logistics.

    Parking, shuttle, launch, and pickup... we've already got that figured out.

  4. 04

    Enjoy The River.

    Gentle current, beautiful scenery, plenty of places to stop, swim, or just float.

  5. 05

    Go Home With A Story.

    Good rivers have a way of turning into good stories.

Reviews

What Folks Say Downstream.

“We showed up with three kids and no plan at all. Twenty minutes later we were floating. Best day of our whole trip.”
Marisol R. · Austin, TX
“He took one look at us and said 'y'all want the canoe.' He was right. Felt like getting advice from an uncle who knows the river.”
Dave K. · Houston, TX
“The shuttle alone is worth it. No juggling cars, nobody stressed. We just paddled and he handled the rest.”
Priya S. · San Antonio, TX
