On Saturday morning we will depart at 9:30am for canoeing and kayaking. We will be using Guadalupe Canoe Livery on the
Guadalupe
River
above
Canyon
Lake
. The Livery is on Hwy 281 just north of the river crossing in Spring
Branch. According to both Yahoo and Google Maps, the fastest driving
directions from Round Rock is to go 35 South to 290 West to 281
