    Join Stewards from across the state for a trip to the South Llano River, on May 29-31, 2026!

    The South Llano River is a natural wonder of Texas: its spring-fed, crystal clear water is home to some of Texas’ most beloved species and it provides drinking water to upstream communities like Junction before making its way down to the Highland Lakes. It is also a part of the Texas Paddling Trails Network– though its remote nature means many have never experienced it.

    We invite you to join Stewards of the Wild for an overnight trip and paddle to the South Llano River (near Junction). Hosted by the Statewide Conservation Committee's Native Habitats team, you'll have an opportunity to see firsthand the importance of river conservation in Texas and hear from the experts on a full-day river paddle, and learn about the vital role of native plants during a visit to the Native American Seed farm.

    Only 15 spots available! Registration is currently open to SOTW members, and may open to non-members if spots remain.

    Agenda:

    • Friday, May 29: Arrive by 5 p.m. for a welcome dinner at the lodging location (Legacy Ranch at Lazy H).

    • Saturday, May 30: Paddle a 7-mile stretch of the South Llano River that has been designated as the Coke Stevenson Scenic Waterway and hear from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Llano River Watershed Alliance, and other experts about efforts to study and protect this pristine waterway. This will be a full day paddle.

    • Sunday, May 31: Visit the Native American Seed Farm to learn about the land-water nexus and the vital role native plants serve in keeping our waterways pristine before departing at 11 a.m.

    What's Provided:

    Lodging (2 nights, indoor lodging at Lazy H), meals except Saturday dinner (we will go into town), and kayaks will be provided. 

    We encourage anyone to sign up that:

    • Wants to experience one of the state’s most iconic waterways

    • Is curious about river conservation, riparian habitats, and the land-water nexus

    • Is excited to participate in a full day 7-mile paddle trip (Note: the South Llano is a gentle river, but we recommend that folks have a basic understanding of kayaking before going on this trip)

    Packing List: 

    • Water shoes (or a pair of sneakers you don’t mind getting wet) for kayaking - we recommend hard soles

    • Refillable water bottle(s)

    • Hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and clothing for sun protection; dry bag/waterproof bag for your phone, keys, and valuables
