Spring Lake Guided Stand-up Paddling Tours

The Guided Stand-Up Paddling Tours provide a new way to experience the headwaters of the San Marcos River! Floating on top of the crystal-clear waters of the Edwards Aquifer, paddlers can look forward to learning about the unique history of Spring Lake, one of the longest continually inhabited sites in North America, and its critical habitat, which supports eight endangered and threatened species. Paddlers can also anticipate seeing a variety of wildlife, such as turtles, fish, and aquatic plants, all with a trained and knowledgeable guide available to answer questions.

The on-water time for the tour is up to 1 hour. Space is limited to 8 people per tour, and participants must be 12 years or older. The weight limit for the stand-up paddleboards is 285 pounds. Beginner and experienced stand-up paddlers are welcome. To view all participant requirements, visit https://bit.ly/3Eo0Wes.
