What is Canoe Trail All About?


Objectives: Led by citizens of Goliad County, Canoe Trail Goliad is a public-private partnership organized to
  • Create a safe, integrated system of access points along the San Antonio River
  • Obtain sufficient project funding
  • Encourage diverse and broad-based community participation in the project
  • Offer opportunities to citizens and visitors through the trail system to learn about cultural, natural, and historic resources
  • Cooperate with other local eco-tourism initiatives to contribute to the economic climate of Goliad County
  • Create a sustainable, effective organization to support project design, development, funding, and maintenance

Meetings: Canoe Trail Goliad meetings are open to the public - all are encouraged to come and participate in the development of Goliad's paddling trail!  Meetings are held 4-6 times per year. Meeting notices are posted on this website, published in the local newspaper and are sent via e-mail to all members. 

The next meeting will be on Wednesday, April 12th, at 5:30 p.m. at Branch Park.
