Floating Down the Colorado...

Floating Down the Colorado…

We took advantage of Labor Day and headed to Webberville, about 20 miles east of Austin for an easy day of Kayaking on the Colorado River.  We began at Travis County’s Little Webberville Park, with several of our group renting kayaks from Cook’s Canoes, who are located just a few doors down from the park.  We enjoyed the lazy float for 5 of the 6 miles to Big Webberville Park, with the last mile prompting us to paddle due to a head wind that picked up.  We also stopped about half way on a mid-river island for lunch and an extended swim.  When we reached Big Webberville Park, Cook’s picked us up and transported our rented kayaks, plus our personal kayaks back to the start.  A great day and we saw only one other group in two canoes behind us.
