Journey to the Springs

Immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring beauty of Austin's iconic Barton Creek on this 2.5-mile round-trip paddle accompanied by one of our experienced Tour Guides.

With Downtown Austin as your backdrop, you'll paddle alongside the ever-popular Zilker Park on your journey to engage with the nature, wildlife, and natural history of Barton Springs – famous for its year-round 68-degree (f) water.

Weather permitting, participants are encouraged to put themselves in the shoes of ancestors long before them who considered the waters of Barton Creek and Barton Springs of a sacred nature, by taking a quick dip in the shallow area at the headwaters of the creek. This public departure requires advanced registration and does not exceed 25 participants.
