We put in the Guadalupe River at the Boat Ramp in Riverside Park in Victoria, TX. Nice warm spring morning, mostly overcast. Nice gentle current, generally easy paddling. A few short showers during the trip was our only complaint.

The trip only took 1:40 minutes to complete the 4.2 mile course. A nice view of the Guadalupe river bluffs and sandbars.
