San Marcos Paddling Night

The Meadows Center’s Guided Light-Up Kayak Tours at Spring Lake provide a new way to experience the headwaters of the San Marcos River! You will experience an exclusive evening view of the San Marcos River’s headwaters while learning about the unique history of Spring Lake, one of the longest continually inhabited sites in North America, and the protection of 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 1.5-hour experience includes the following:

• Introduction to the unique history and habitat of Spring Lake
• Check-in, safety, and skills debrief
• Hour-long guided stand-up paddling tour

Space is limited to eight people per tour, and participants must be 12 years or older. All gear, such as life jackets, paddleboards, and paddles, will be provided by the Meadows Center. Beginner and experienced stand-up paddlers are welcome.
