The parking is well thought out, there are trash cans for your trash, there's a rail to help you get your kayak down the slope, and there is even a rope swing for swimming! My kids had a blast with that. The only thing I took a star away for was the lack of a place to poop. A port-a-potty out there would be amazing for the people who come down to picnic, take photos, and just swim in the general area. Other than that, I highly, highly recommend this place! We're taking a bunch of friends out again this weekend to kayak, we liked it so much.

They value their customers and want to make sure you have a great experience. Their prices are very reasonable. Brian obviously cares about the river - I saw him walking along the banks later in the day picking up trash. I still don't understand why people leave leave so much trash around! C'mon guys, pick up after yourselves! The only recommendation I'd have is to make the trail down to the river a little wider and safer. It's hard to cart coolers and tubes down that narrow path, and even harder to carry them back up after a day on the river. :) Overall though, I highly recommend Brazos Outdoor Center. You feel like a valued customer, not like a head of cattle. :)

If you do have everything you need; this is the best place to leave your vehicle for overnight river trips. There are 20 miles of beautiful scenery (and fishing opportunities) from the launch below the PK dam - to this takeout point. Wild tirkeys walked right beside us, while turtles and hawks ignored us. You may see wild animals, and you will certainly see gorgeous cluffs and vistas - but you won't find any evidence of modern life! This 20-mile float may take you back in time! Plenty of parking, and the family staff is VERY nice. I love the older lady; she reminds me of my grandmother!

We found Discover Kayak and Steve through a search in our local area for basic kayak instruction…read morefor our Girl Scouts to accomplish their paddling badge. First, working with Steve was so easy and relaxed! As you can imagine, coordinating a kayak trip with Texas weather and multiple involved Girl Scouts posed a bit of a logistical nightmare but Steve was understanding all along the way! He was understanding when we dropped a few girls and added one back on and when weather canceled us the first few times he was very clear and quick with the communication. Second, Steve was incredibly informative and patient with our Girl Scouts. This was a group of girls ages 11-15 but most of our group fell into the 11-12 year old range. He kept the girls on task and made sure they were watching at the important parts without coming across as too tough. The girls LOVED the experience and I highly recommend Steve and Discover Kayak to Girl Scouts and new kayakers alike. Thanks again Steve!

We are planning another small group for next month already.

I was honestly a bit skeptical and was worried I might tip over and catch some sort of horrible disease from the Trinity, but honestly it was a a great time and I had alot of fun. I went out in a kayak both times (they apparently offer canoes as well) and I will say that I think I enjoyed the double over the single but that's probably more a personal preference. The trip itself was really enjoyable. I saw quite a bit of wildlife both times and it was quite relaxing floating down the river. The paddling wasn't difficult at all but I did get some not-so-fun blisters...you may want to consider some fingerless gloves (like you would wear for lifting) if you're sensitive to that kind of thing. Sure it's not cheap, but they handle any shuttling (taking you to the launch site or picking you up) and for a 2-3 hour "adventure" it's more than reasonable. Staff was super friendly both times I was there and I definitely had no issues there even with the reservation I made online. Really a great setup and a unique experience that you wouldn't expect in the middle of DFW. I'll definitely be back!
