Vanishing Texas River Cruise by Canyon of the Eagles

The Vanishing Texas River Cruise by Canyon of the Eagles is a Texas Hill Country institution. Residents of the area, even those who’ve never been, have likely heard of it, and heard good things, too. We’ve mentioned it in passing in a previous post, but I think it’s high time we head back for a closer look.

Canyon of the Eagles is a rustic lodge and nature park set on 940 acres of untamed Texas Hill Country. There are attractions aplenty, from exploring the wilderness to fishing Lake Buchanan, but no doubt the star of any Texas Hill Country vacation is a Vanishing Texas River Cruise.

A year-round treat that truly changes with the seasons, the Vanishing Texas River Cruise takes guests on a 2 to 4-hour cruise over Lake Buchanan and up the calm Colorado River for incredible nature and wildlife sightings. And if you time it right, you can see a whole lot more, too.

Your options depend on the season:

• Scenic Wilderness Cruise – March to October – this classic cruise covers 22 miles of scenic goodness; waterfalls, cliffs, birds and more.
• Fall Foliage Cruise – September – November – It’s not just for the Northeast any more. See the leaves in turn on this remarkable cruise, offered just two and a half month of the year.
• Sunset Dinner Cruise – May – October – Live music and a delicious meal help “flavor” this evening cruise up the Colorado.
• Winery Tour & Cruise – Year-round – An epicurean favorite, this cruise includes a tour and tasting at the Fall Creek Vineyards.

That’s just a sample. There are also bald eagle cruises, fishing charters and special cruises for droughts/low water conditions. You can even rent the boat and host events. Even weddings!

The Vanishing Texas River Cruise Company stresses time and again that their cruises sell out. So, they recommend you make your reservations early. Just after you make your reservations at Canyon of the Eagles would be best. Learn more about this attraction.

In fact, you might even be able to make those reservations at the same time. As the official hotel of Vanishing Texas River Cruises, the Canyon of the Eagles Lodge often features specials including cruises and discounts. View their current Texas Hill County vacation packages.

Have fun!
