Kayaking in Alexander Deussen Park/Lake Houston

This location is shown only to members

Seems like this has been planned for along time and people are waiting for a reply, place, and set date... So Im going to make the initiative to change it.

This meet up is for people who have kayaks. There is no kayak rental located at this park. Hopefully, those who have kayaks will join and those who dont cld probably buy one, rent, or borrow one. Alexader Duessen Park is on Lake Houston and has relatively calm waters. I wish for alot of Active Houstonians to show and participate. I personally will take a fishing pole and troll :) if you have any questions please feel free to email me (:

heres alittle bit more on the park: http://www.hctx.net/comm_lee/PDeussen/

    I never have gone kayaking. I would like to try. I rented 4 Tandem-Kayak which are available from Sept to mid of November. My friends and I will join you if you're doing it during Sept to Nov this year.

    Hi Nadia, it was planned last year. But I don't know if they made it. We can make it happen this year. Do you know any good place to kayak?

    Hi Sarah! I am on a couple of Kayaking Meetups. There is Buffalo Bayou Shuttle, they have a Groupon deal now but it's only good on weekdays but I think if you are a member of their MeetUp you can get discounts. Here is the meetup site http://www.meetup.com/KayakingHouston/ and this is their regular website http://bayoushuttle.com/index.htm. Besides the water being what it is, it's a pretty nice paddle with downtown Houston views.

    Sorry, I ran out of space. Another group is pretty active but you usually need your own kayak, they do alot of camping along with it http://www.meetup.com/Houston-Kayaking/. My favorite trip is the San Marcos River and you can rent for $25 and there are a few small rapids. Have made several day trips here, I love it. Water is low right now though. Don't know if I would recommend it for first timers though http://spencercanoes.net/spencercanoes.html

    Hi Nadia, thanks for your info. I think we'll try downtown Houston. We have 5 kayaks, we're all new to kayak. Do you know where can we put in and take out our kayaks?

    I second Sarah's question.
    I've had my kayak for about a year but have not had it in TX...would like to know where people would suggest for flatwater boating.

    Went on the Seabrook Kayaking Groupon trip on my own, without the group. Was nice. I do warn, sign up in advance. Small outfit. They only had maybe 4-5 single kayaks and the rest tandems. But it was a good time & I'd do it again.

    if you want flat water kayaking, I launch off of San Luis Pass or if not in Lake Houston... I mostly do kayak fishing though :)
    San Luis Pass is saltwater and Lake Houston freshwater...

    I'll go next Sunday. I don't need Dave's extra - I have my own (12', sit-in, so flatwater stuff). Can we get a 3rd to join us?

    Hey Christian, my brother couldn't get his kayak :/ he left it at his in-laws house. Hey Wayne yeah, in that area, there's some parking spaces by the boat ramp. Well they also have a jet ski and kayak launching area, so that'll be better. Its next to the boat ramp.

    so how strenuous is this? I take it not at all..just leisurely lake kayaking? but you never know:) just wondering so I can bring my pup! anyone else bringing their pup along?

    Posted March 17 at 12:42 AM
  • Julie
    Julie

    No pup here. Have heard of people kayaking with a dog, but have never actually seen it myself (Sailboats and canoes I have). I have no issues with you having your dog. On a side note - not sure I'll make it. Will try, but it's a long way from my place to Lake Houston & I have Sunday morning commitments (church etc.). So if I'm not there at noon, assume I just couldn't make it.

    This was a great trip. I would go to Lake Houston again kayaking. Next time I want to do some catching of fish. David and Yolanda are great to go out with. My son also had a great time.
