What you can expect

  • Paddle along the upper stretch of Buffalo Bayou on a guided kayaking tour. Learn about the river's geology and the impact of Hurricane Harvey as you paddle from Highway 6 to I-610W.

    Start with a safety briefing and on-land instruction before you set out on the water. Paddle along the narrow, open, and peaceful water trail with a few rapids and several sandy shores great for a break.

    See a mix of gently sloping to steep sandy banks, flat flood plains, and tree-lined ridges with mature trees. Stop to examine riverbank morphology, channel shape, and dimensions, and analyse bedrock and geomorphological features associated with streams and floods.

    Hear about the impact of Hurricane Harvey on the area. Learn how the Addicks and Barker reservoirs comprise a major flood control system and play a crucial role in delaying the peak outflow of the river during large rainfall events.
