The wildlife sightings can be extraordinary. We have seen Great Horned and Barred Owls. Hawks are abundant. Turtles fall off the banks and logs well before the paddler's arrival. Fish break the surface regularly. The San Marcos River is truly a special place. The take-out of this river trip is at the historic Zedler Mill and Dam area in Luling. Originally built in 1874, the complex was used as a saw mill, cotton gin, and grist mill. In 1890 the mill began providing water to the municipal water plant in Luling. In 1894 the installed hydro-electrical generator began to supply the city with electricity. Corn shelling and manufacturing animal feed were later operations. The mills closed around 1960. Luling offers great restaurants, legendary barbecue, year 'round farmers markets, interesting stores to browse, the Central Texas Oil Patch Museum and much more. The famous Luling Watermelon Thump in June is always a must do, seed-spittin' good time. Palmetto State Park is just a short drive from town. **We do not rent after 12 noon to ensure you will make the 4 pm take-out. All participants must be 7 years and older. No alcohol allowed.** RENTAL PRICES: 2 person canoe or kayak = $40.00 each solo sit-on-top kayak = $25.00 each paddles, pfds, and shuttle and tax included. T G Canoes and Kayaks' last take-out time is 4:00 P.M. All canoes and kayaks must be off the water by then. This take-out time is important to maintain the safety of all our clients. A fee of $25.00 PER HOUR for each watercraft will be collected to cover the cost of searching and waiting for those who do not make the 4:00 p.m. take-out time. If your group would like the opportunity to experience this select section of the San Marcos River, PLEASE GIVE US A CALL (512-353-3946) TO MAKE A RESERVATION. We look forward to hearing from you.
