We took our time and really enjoyed the luxury to just be. We saw turtles sunbathing, birds, a bobcat, and had a picnic on the boat ;-) It was a lovely experience. Charles took us to the river and picked us up. He is great; super cool guy and I can tell he knows his stuff! That made me feel confortable with canoeing. Looking forward to our next outing!

We were a crew of 4 flight attendants on a long layover in search of a day adventure. The Trinity River did not disappoint. The water level was high and a little swift at times which we enjoyed. Prepare to see many different birds and we had quite a few fish jump near our canoe. The water was just fine...we did not fear for our lives...the water was clean and what you would expect in a large city. Although you are in Dallas it seems more like a remote river out west at times. Please take heart in our review....we have traveled to every state in the country and tubed,whitewater rafted or gone canoeing in almost all of them if available. Trinity River Expeditions is a must do in Dallas...Thanks Charles!!

As soon as we walked into our cars, this same location rents out a kayak to another lady after saying it was closed. Don't waste your time coming here. Go find another location or buy your own kayak. Update: don't try to intimidate people with threatening our local guide status. They turned us away immediately upon walking up. Own up to it. I have 3 other people who were with me. What would I get out of lying? I left work early for this day.

We made a reservation for a 1 hour double kayak and a paddle board. The morning of our reservation, our 3rd person decided not to come and the staff at lone star were so accommodating, they gave us a credit for the paddle board for us to use next time. The staff were so warm and welcoming, they made the check in process so smooth and we were out on the water within a few minutes. This was our first time at the lake and they gave us an overview of where to paddle, etc., as well. Over all a wonderful experience, and we will be back again with some friends. It's a beautiful lake with vibrant nature. A great way to spend the day!

I truly cannot speak highly enough of this incredible place. What I thought would be a simple…read moreone-hour boat ride turned into the discovery of a fantastic new hobby--and even better, a great community of people who genuinely love the water. Peter at Lonestar Adventure Sports is phenomenal. He set me up with an excellent captain for my very first outing on a Hobie Getaway catamaran, and I was instantly hooked. I haven't been sailing in years but the team made me very comfortable and excited to get to do this again. After my 1hr sailing trip with Captain Chad, Peter introduced me to Captain David, and let me tell you--this man is the real deal. On Sunday, he took me under his wing and walked me through the rigging and setup of a Hobie cat, generously sharing his knowledge and passion while we prepared one of his boats for the water. Although the wind wasn't in our favor that day and we didn't get to sail, I left feeling incredibly grateful. I thought that was the end of the adventure--until I received a text from Peter inviting me back out on Tuesday. As luck would have it, my work schedule shifted, and I was able to join them. The wind was perfect, and we had three boats on the water, sailing in sync and enjoying every minute. It was an unforgettable experience. When I wrapped up that day, I left not only with a renewed love for sailing but with some new friends as well. I'll absolutely be back the next time I'm in Dallas. Whether you're into kayaking, paddle boarding, or just testing the waters, the team at Lonestar Adventure Sports will treat you right. Highly, highly recommend.

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!

Entering is as easy as scanning the QR code provided when entering the park and typing in your car license plate. As of June 2025, the entrance fee was $10, and this was on a weekend if that matters. Inside the park the car parking is very limited and to get a spot you either get lucky or just have to wait for other cars to leave. To prevent anyone trying to park illegal they positioned big rocks on the grass. There is a playground with swings and slides and multiple pavilions with shade. There is a small fishing pier and a beach like waterfront for swimming and fishing. We decided to try our luck and cast our rods out in the lake and surprisingly we caught a 3lb catfish within 10 minutes. We stayed about 2 hours and just got bites but nothing else. There are restrooms onsite and they have water fountains but when I was there, they were not working. There is a boat dock to release your boats and jet skis out in the water and while we were there, they had a good amount of people out in the water with their boats. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and will most likely return in the future for some fishing and hanging out with the family.
