Free Trinity River public float

The Trinity River Restoration Program invites the public to attend an informative and free float on Thursday, July 20, on the Trinity River. Lunch will be provided.TRRP staff will ride along in the rafts to answer questions and discuss river functions and TRRP restoration efforts. Several stops along the river are scheduled, including areas not easily accessible except by boat and a brief tour of a recent restoration site.The public will get a chance to hear about river restoration strategies, goals and objectives, and how the TRRP works to create conditions that contribute to a healthy river.The float will encompass the same reach of river that was highlighted during our 2016 float.The trip will start at Steel Bridge and end below Douglas City. The river is relatively calm in this reach at the scheduled flow levels, on the scheduled float date.Families are welcome. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. The trip is not recommended for young children. Participants must be able to walk over uneven ground at some sites and enter and exit a raft in shallow water. The trip will begin at 9 a.m. and finish by 2 p.m.Be sure to bring water, sunscreen and a hat, and remember to wear shoes that can get wet.While this is a free event, space is limited and RSVPs are required.
