Trinity River Kayak Co. offers guided river trips and rentals on 22 miles of the Elm Fork of the Trinity River, based in Coppell, Texas, near the greater Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area. Trips run from Lake Lewisville Dam all the way down to California Crossing Dam, with every adventure beginning at the business’s own property on the river, where a paddle orientation gets guests on the water quickly and safely.
The Blast (6 miles, 2-3 hours) runs from Hebron Parkway back to TRKC, available as a single boat, double boat, canoe, or shuttle-only for guests bringing their own boat.

Private group rentals of 10 or more people run a $500 minimum ($50/person) for The Blast, or a $750 minimum ($75/person) for Double Rush or Iron Man, bookable by advance email reservation. Guests can also bring their own boat and pay for shuttle service only, and alcohol is permitted with responsible drinking encouraged.
