Neches Wilderness Canoe & Kayak Race

This is a 20 mile race or float trip if you prefer, kind of an obstacle course. This is an excellent chance to try paddling on the Neches because you can rent or bring a boat, have food at the finish line and get shuttled you back to your car. There are fallen trees across the river that you'll need to go under, over or around. Fun for Pros and Newbies alike! The Pros tend to run it in 3-5 hours. Others take 4-8 hours depending on rate of paddling and # of stops.
