Inflatable Kayak Blog

I have a co-worker that takes a trip to Texas every year. She knows that I have an inflatable kayak and she suggested a place not to far from where she goes to visit family every year that she thought would make a nice trip.

It is the Brazos River, about 1 hour south of Dallas or 2 hours north of Austin. The Spanish explorers named it Los Brazos di Dios or “the Arms of God”. It is the longest river in Texas and flows nearly 1200 miles from headwaters in New Mexico to the gulf. Some of the oldest human remains in North America were found in this region. She said that there have been many arrowheads and artifacts found all along the river. She told me it is very unpopulated with a wide variety of wild life as well as being a scenic area with high limestone cliffs and many caves to explore. Sounds really nice! I’m adding it to my list to check out when we decide to make a trip to the Texas area.
