NTKE, LLC does not have a physical location. We offer the ultimate kayaking experience in some of the most beautiful and secluded paddle trails in North Texas. NTKE, LLC is a full-service registered outfitter with the American Canoe Association delivering premium rental equipment (featuring Old Town kayaks) at public launch sites in Collin & Grayson counties, pick-up & shuttle services, GPS tracking for your safety as well as minimizing waiting at the takeout. All experiences are booked on our site with limited inventory for each time slot/location.

What do you need to bring?
We will be kayaking in the rain UNLESS there are thunderstorms or flood watch conditions. If it is light or intermittent rain, we will likely kayak. Please contact us and check on your trip if you’re concerned. We do not offer refunds for cancellations due to weather but will be happy to move your reservation to another day.
If a pop-up shower should occur on the river you may pull over and wait it out or keep going. We cannot come and get you and you will need to finish the River Run. If an emergency should occur please dial 911 for Dallas Fire and Water Rescue.
There is a certain amount of risk associated with paddling. We have no access to our experiences except the launch points and take-outs. Our ability to help you is limited once you are set on your trip.
Generally, children ages 5-10 can paddle with their parents in a Two-Person Plus Kayak. NTKE, LLC does NOT recommend anyone under 5 years of age. Children 8 and up can paddle a single kayak. The child will need a certain amount of endurance or use a Two-Person Plus Kayak.
Paddlers will need to be able to bend down to get in the boat and will need some arm strength to get out of the boat. Our Red River Trips do not have any major rapids and current flows with our paddlers but there is paddle effort to get down the river.
No Refunds/Reschedule Only if your paddle is canceled for inclement weather. Exceptions can be made for out-of-state paddlers.
We have gift cards and will be offering them on our site soon! We have amounts ranging from $20-$250. Please contact us here for your gift card requests/questions.
