Now that Spring is officially here, I am itching to get in a canoe. I have canoed Town Lake a few times in the past year or so, but it has been a long time since I took a canoeing day trip or overnighter. I plan to do so this Spring. We are blessed with exceptional canoeing throughout Central Texas. Town Lake provides an excellent way to paddle for a couple of hours, but to get the real feel of a river, head out to one of our exceptional paddling rivers. The Austin Public Library has several books to get you started. Knack Canoeing for Everyone: a Step-by-Step Guide to Selecting the Gear, Learning the Strokes, and Planning Your Trip
