About this event

Celebrate HASK Annual Picnic at new location, with plenty of paddling opportunities. Let's meet at the Wallisville Lake Project at the Corp of Engineers Trinity River Lock & Dam.



There is ample parking, clean restroom, and beach / boat ramp access to the river below the dam. 

Bring gear to sell or give away.  Please mark each items with Tape, your Name, Phone Number and Price. Please, no more than 2 kayaks per person to sell.  To reduce plastic waste, please bring your favorite flask or tumbler. We'll have tape and sharpies.  Solo cups available. 

Menu to be released soon.  Grilled items for sure. Will request side dishes from you all. Chris Arceneaux



The Put-In and Take-Out is 480 meters South of the picnic area. Parking is available if you wish to drive. 

Hazards -- Marine traffic from recreational boaters. Alligators are in the Trinity River and Wallisville Lake, just keep a respectable distance.  As always, your event organizer will work to avoid hazards. Most importantly, bring water, change of dry non-cotton clothes and snacks.
