DeWitt County Precinct 1 Commissioner Ryan Varela outlined improvements to the Guadalupe River Valley Paddling Trail access sites at the Commissioners Court meeting April 27.
Varela told the court a ribbon cutting ceremony would be held at the entrance to the paddling trail to herald the enhancements on April 30. The improvements were made in cooperation with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority, which sponsored the new map and kiosk.
Varela said improvements were made to the road leading to the paddling trail on FM 766, and the boat ramp on Hwy. 72 was repaired, an open area was regraded for grass growth and work is underway on a small parking lot and a road around the open area. On FM 236, the boat ramp was rebuilt, litter was cleaned up and a new paddling trail map and kiosk were installed.
