There are more than 15 major river systems and 3,700 named streams that meander through nearly 200,000 miles of Texas landscape. But finding a place to put in or take out a kayak or canoe can be difficult since much of the land on both sides of the bank is privately-owned. Now Texas Parks and Wildlife has a plan to help get folks on the rivers by creating a series of paddling trails near urban areas.
