Out and back. Meeting at 8:30am to launch at 9:00am. Paddle downstream then upstream for a while then paddle back to arrive at boat launch by 12:30 or so. About a 6 mile paddle. More details as we get closed to the event.
Meet at the Colorado and FM 960, just west of Glen Flora.
This is longish, but really pleasant portion of the Colorado, noted for its concentration of bald eagles (we‘ve seen nearly 50 on some trips).
We will meet at FM 960 and the Colorado at 0730, just west of Glen Flora and then shuttle up to FM 950 and the Colorado, just east of Garwood. This trip is just about 28.0 miles with no known unusual river hazards. It does have a few little riffles and sweepers, but is otherwise pretty easy paddling.
Both the put in and take out are fairly step by Colorado River Standards, but pretty easy by Brazos standards.
Join us June 10, 7:00 pm, at Bayland Community Center Art Room, to hear Tom Douglas discuss, Why Do So Many Houston Area Streams Run from West to East?
Meet at 5:30 pm for a evening meal at
Thai Cottage Bellaire
5206 Bissonnet St.
Bellaire, TX 77401
Meet at the US 90 A boat ramp east of Altair. We will shuttle to Columbus to put in.
Since the Brazos up river is running close to 60,000 cfs right now, I am going to change this weeks paddle back to the Colorado. The section from Columbus to Altair is done a bit less frequently but is a beautiful stretch, about 22 miles long.
There are no unusual river hazards on this stretch of the Colorado. The put in and take out are both quite civilized by any standards.
We will meet at 0730 at US 90 A boat ramp, just east of Altair and then shuttle up to Beason‘s Crossing Park at Columbus to put in.
If you wish to attend, please inform me by email so you get the final logistical information.
SH 21 and the Brazos (West of Bryan)
This is roughly 26.2 mile paddle on an interesting stretch of the Brazos. In general there are no unusual river hazards on this trip except for the one limestone sill about three miles from the finish. The put in on this one is relatively easy, but the take out is pretty steep.
This section of the river runs through some of the most fossilferous outcrops in the state- primarily small Cretaceous marine fossils. The Brazos has been running at a decent level to make longer paddling trips, so come on out and enjoy this one. We will meet at SH 21 at 0800.
