What we’re about
If you are looking for a group to enjoy paddling adventures on the water or learn new skills, we are the club for you! North Texas River Runners is a chapter of the Arkansas Canoe Club and is affiliated with the American Canoe Kayak SUP Raft Rescue Association (ACA). We are about helping our members develop their kayaking skills while discovering the joys of outdoor water adventures. Our members include all levels of ACA certified instructors as well as regular folks who love being on the water. We do both white water and flat water adventures and welcome everyone from beginning paddlers to advanced white-water daredevils. Our club was formed in 1986. To become an official member of the club, the dues are $25 for individual or family, but to join on meetup and receive notification of events there is no charge. We do request that those who attend 3 or more events pay the nominal dues to become an official member of the club.
