Bastrop River Co. has been making waves in Bastrop since opening its doors in March 2012.
Lee Harle took the plunge into the river recreation industry with no prior experience. Since then, BRC has become a local favorite, offering options such as river camping, group trips and its popular self-guided El Camino Real river trail.
Harle said the road to success was not always smooth sailing, noting that his background was in finance and sales. Despite the challenges, he navigated uncharted waters to learn the ins and outs of the Colorado River and recreation business.
“There was a lot of time spent out in the wild getting to know the landscape and learning the river,” he said.
