The Dallas Downriver Club is a paddling club for canoeists and kayakers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The club welcomes beginners and experienced paddlers, singles and families, and members who prefer quiet flat-water floats as well as those looking for whitewater.
Club activities include Saturday morning urban paddles on local waterways, weekend and multi-day base camping and river camping trips, fishing outings, summer moonlight floats and river cleanups. Members also travel to rivers in East Texas, the Texas Hill Country, Arkansas and Oklahoma, typically a three- to five-hour drive from Dallas, for longer trips.
The club also holds seminars for members and the public. In 2024 it hosted a seminar on camping from a canoe or kayak, covering gear, packing and trip logistics, which Portal of Dallas covered.
Membership, event calendars, water and weather information, and the club store are available on the club’s website. The Dallas Downriver Club is run by volunteers and does not operate a public office, so prospective members should use the contact form on the website to reach the club.
