About us
For folks interested in exploring paddling and paddling adventures. We are currently partnered with TC Paddlesports at Panther Island in Fort Worth but we do adventures throughout the Metroplex area--and sometimes beyond. While we are a rental and instructional company, we also do special events and tours, river and lake trips, sunset and moonlight paddles, fishing excursions, and almost anything else our members would like to do on the water in a paddle-craft. We have canoes, kayaks (recreational, Sit on top, touring, tandem, and white water) and Stand Up Paddle Boards. Or you can bring your own boat. Don't know how to paddle? No problem. We have classes in everything from basic flat water skills to advanced white water--and even eskimo rolls! Come join us and be part of the fun!

This way you get to enjoy and experience the entire trail without getting bogged down with the trash at the beginning and missing the chance to see the whole trail.
