As daylight fades to twilight, the Greenbelt transforms into a calmer, cooler world where the river quiets and evening wildlife becomes active. Expect a leisurely paddle that favors atmosphere over speed, beginning and ending near the historic iron bridge and flowing beneath a dimming canopy along a scenic North Texas corridor.
