WILD DEVILS 2026 RAFFLE EXPERIENCE
The Devils River, Wild & Wonderful
An Exclusive Paddling Adventure for Two
Experience one of Texas's most extraordinary wild places on an exclusive, two-day, two-night paddling adventure through the spectacular Devils River canyon country.
Your host and guide will be the Executive Director of the Devils River Conservancy, an experienced wildlife biologist and naturalist who will share an intimate knowledge of the river's wildlife, ecology, and remarkable conservation story.
Beginning at the iconic Dolan Falls, you'll paddle approximately five miles each day through some of the clearest, most beautiful waters in Texas, with plenty of time to fish, swim, watch birds, explore, and simply take in the magic of the Devils River.
And when the paddling is done? A little unexpected luxury awaits.
Forget sleeping on the rocky riverbank! You'll enjoy comfortable, paddle-up accommodations on private riverside properties, complete with real beds, air conditioning, and prepared meals—including a special chef-prepared dinner on your first evening. Traditional riverside lunches will keep you fueled for each day's adventure, and refreshing libations will be waiting at the end of each day to toast another unforgettable experience on the river.
The experience concludes at a private downstream takeout, but the memories will last much longer.
As an added bonus, the winning pair will receive a Devils River Conservancy swag package and their choice of size and sleeve length for a custom-embroidered Poncho Outdoors shirt during DRC's next Poncho preorder.
Wild water. Extraordinary wildlife. Great company. And a comfortable bed at the end of the day. This is the Devils River as few people ever experience it.
Package includes:
Two days and two nights on the Devils River for two adults
Personally guided by the Executive Director of the Devils River Conservancy
Approximately 10 miles of paddling, beginning at Dolan Falls
Kayaks, paddles, and personal flotation devices
Two nights of air-conditioned riverside lodging: an open bunk room with multiple beds, including a king, on night one; a private room with two beds in a home on night two
Prepared meals, including a chef-prepared dinner on night one, and traditional field lunches on the river
Evening libations following each day's paddling adventure
Time for fishing, birding, swimming, and exploring
