| San Saba River Adventures |
||||||
| I've never kayaked before. How hard is it? You don't have to be an Olympic athlete to kayak, but you need to be in at least decent physical condition and be ready to immerse yourself in nature. Probably not immerse, literally ... our sit-on-top kayaks are stable and easy to paddle. We'll show you what you need to know to get down the river safely. But, sometimes boats flip. And that cool, clean river feels mighty good on a hot summer day. What should I bring? Bathing suit, sunscreen, sunglasses (on a lanyard or cord), hat, good water shoes (no flip-flops), any required medications and insect repellent. If fishing, bring your fishing license (and driver's license or other photo ID), ultralight fishing tackle or 6-wt or lighter fly rod. SSRA will provide drybags to keep cameras, towels and extra clothing dry. Can we keep fish from the river? Water quality in the Menard Co. segment of the San Saba is typically very good, and fish are fine to eat; however, we generally encourage anglers to practice catch and release on this river. If a guest lands a trophy fish or a large catfish (or two) and wishes to keep them for their own consumption, we'll certainly help you do that. How long are the trips? We try to tailor our trips to guests' individual skill levels and interests. We can arrange trips that last half a day, or last two days with overnight camping on the river. Our typical package is a full 8-hour day on the water. What about food and lodging in Menard? We have three clean and affordable motels in town and three good restaurants. Also, take time to check out our historic "Ditch Walk," the ruins of the mid-18th century Presido de las Amarillas, the Menardville Museum and nearby Fort McKavitt State Historical Site.
