Kayaking in Austin?

[Texmullet]

Any good places to kayak in Austin...my wife wants to take her adult kids kayaking in Austin while she visits this week. Any decent places? She may have to rent some.

my favorites back in college were Lady Bird Lake and Colorado River below LBL

You could put into the Colorado at the 973 bridge and then float to Little Webberville. I think its a 6 hour float if you are going 2 miles per hour (I think, I may be wrong about that, there is a sign there that tells you specifically). Its nice to float the Colorado below the dam because the water flow is always good. It's real pretty too, lots of wildlife. Have fun

The San Marcos river is also really awesome I have heard, although I've never 'yaked it before. It may be pretty low but if you call TG Kayak and Canoe, they'll be happy to tell you how it's looking I'm sure. They're really awesome and you can rent kayaks from them too. Austin Canoe and Kayak is a great source of info as well, although I've never purchased anything from them.

x2 on the Colorado. The river is gorgeous, scenery is perfect, the water is a great temperature for swimming, and there's always the chance at spotting Bald Eagles ( I think they're still there ). You'll see lots of gar and big carp. Also, the bass fishing is pretty good.

I saw about 12 green parrots flying around too. I had no idea there were some of those guys around here.
