The put-in for this paddling trail is located just Southeast of where Highway 90 crosses the San Marcos River, approximately 5 miles west of Luling. The take-out is at the historic Zedler Mill off Laurel Avenue, which is located within the Luling City limits. There is a dam beyond the mill, so pay close attention so as not to pass this take-out. Laurel Avenue intersects Highway 183 (80) across from Luling Municipal Park Golf Course. Parking is available at both locations and a shuttle vehicle can be left free of charge at either site.
