    paddleboat, canoe, or kayak rentals at which parks?

    Just curious at which state parks have paddleboat, canoe, or kayak rentals, and approx what would the pricing be? Pretty scenery a must.

    Would like it to be in the San Antonio/Austin/hill country area.

    Inks Lake SP (only one close to you), Mineral Wells SP and Cedar Hill SP (at least the last time I was there). I also seem to recall that Tyler and Caddo Lake SP's have boat rental but I'm not sure. I'm sure there are others but these are the ones that I can recall. With the exception of Inks Lake SP, all will be "concession" operations. All cost more then I believe they should but I don't mind it as much at Inks Lake as the profit goes back into the system.

    Inks is a really nice place to paddle. Been there many times and always enjoy paddling the shoreline, particularly in the evening. Much to see. FYI: my avator is our rig (with 'yaks mounted) at "Mr. Ranger's" station at Inks. Great park.

    Happy Camping!

    Garner has rentals in the summer. Paddle boats, tubes and kayaks. It also has a shuttle for tubing in the park.

    Here's another place you may want to look at. Not a state park and not our first choice but nice none the less.
