Paddling Austin
Paddle downtown Austin, Texas via Lady Bird Lake, a dammed stretch of the Colorado River. Grab your raft, kayak, canoe, or SUP for bridges, bats, and BBQ.
Category Paddling
We dive into all things rafts, kayaks, canoes, SUPs, and other watercraft to expand our adventures beyond the shore into rivers, lakes, and even the open ocean. Sure, most boats are too big for our nomadic lifestyle, but inflatable watercraft not only fit onto the compartments of our truck bed but also our backpacks and bikes allowing us to wander beyond the marina and boat launch to reach backcountry put-in points and explore remote stretches of waterfront. Discover our favorite paddle destinations along with products and techniques.
