Winter Rafting the Pine River
Are you ready for an all new way to experience the Pine? We are now offering guided winter rafting trips! Rafts are extremely stable, thus making them the perfect craft to use in the winter. You don’t have to worry about getting wet – the only water in the boat should be from the occasional paddle splash and snow coming down!
The trips take place from Walker Bridge to Lincoln Bridge on the Pine. In a raft, this stretch of river takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes – long enough to soak in the scenery, but not long enough to freeze! While the trips are guided, we are giving everyone their choice of either having the guide in the raft with them or canoeing alongside them.
At the end of your rafting trip, you get the option of either receiving a ride from us back to the starting point where your vehicles are waiting, or of hiking the beautiful Silver Creek Pathway back to your cars. The Silver Creek Pathway runs on both sides of the river – one side is a 1.7 mile hike while the other is about 2.4 miles. It is a gorgeous, riverside trail with beautiful overlooks on the river. If you choose to hike, we will happily take back to your vehicles any thermoses, extra layers of clothing, etc, that you do not want with you on your hike. If some of your group wants to hike and some wants to ride back, we are happy to accommodate that as well.
We offer rafting trips 7 days a week, twice a day. We generally launch the first trip at 10:00 AM and the second trip at 1:00 PM. Since the trips are guided, reservations are required.
Winter Rafting Rates:
2 people - $50/person
3 – 9 people - $40/person
10+ people - $35/person
From deep in the heart of Texas, we send you a great big THANK YOU for making our recent trip down the Pine River such a huge success. The summer weather you ordered up for our Labor Day expedition was greatly appreciated, as was the organization and helpfulness of you and your staff. We were also appreciative of your flexibility in our changing of plans which enabled us to experience kayaking for the first time. We didn't get a chance to properly bid you farewell, so thanks again for such an enjoyable adventure.
