Urban Adventure begins! |
Trip: Trinity River - Elm Branch
Location: Denton - Coppell, TX
Distance: 5.69 miles
The day after Glenn's wedding we headed over to Coppell, near Irving.
Trinity River Kayak has four different trips along the Elm Branch of the Trinity River. Urvi and I went with the McInnish Run, where they drive you up to Denton and put in. Then you end up back in Coppell right by where you parked.

Putting in |
The Trinity River is fully in the North Texas (Dallas-Ft Worth) sprawl. Yet, the river itself is hidden from the sprawl and what at times felt like the set to
Office Space. (Turns out Office Space was shot in the area.) It was a beautiful trip paddling through a bit of nature on the edge of 21st Century American sprawl.

Turtles, Heron, etc. |

Urvi, logs, bridges, me |

Father and Son on the river |

Loading up at the end |
If you are in the Irving/Arlington area, I would definitely spend 2 or 3 hours with Trinity River Kayak.
