The Riva Row Boat House on The Woodlands Waterway is expanding its operations and program offerings for the spring season. New programs include stand-up paddleboarding classes, Sunday kayak excursions and kayaking with picnic lunches. "We're always looking to expand the use of our facilities, and when we have a lot of people using the boathouse, we still want to offer quality programs to residents as an extension of the [boathouse] program," said Chris Nunes, director of parks and recreation for The Woodlands Township. Previously, Riva Row Boat House only offered kayaking Monday through Saturday but is now offering 90-minute Sunday excursions. The program is designed to teach kayakers new techniques while exploring nature, according to The Woodlands Convention and Visitors Bureau. The 90-minute excursions are $40 for a solo kayak and $55 for a tandem kayak. They are scheduled for April 12, April 26, May 3 and May 17 at 10 a.m. On Saturdays couples can sign up for kayak excursions along the Waterway and Lake Woodlands that include a picnic lunch. The program is $60 for a two-hour tandem kayak rental on Lake Woodlands. "It's a great kind of date night program," Nunes said.
