Spring and early summer rains mean higher than average water levels and fast-moving flows at the Beach St location. Before heading out to row, please refer to the USGS river level graphs located on the Rowing Safety page. The Trinity River height should be 16' or below. Safety comes first, so please be mindful of water conditions and plan to row with a buddy whenever possible.

Due to increasing concerns related to the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19), the Fort Worth Rowing Club has elected to cancel all Learn to Row activities. Students registered for upcoming Learn to Row classes may request a refund or leave on account for credit toward future class sessions. For the most up to date Coronavirus (COVID-19) news and information, please visit one of the following resources:  The Henley on Trinity event scheduled for Saturday, June 8 has been cancelled. The Trinity River’s water flow and height are too great, to be able to safely hold Henley on Trinity. Thanks to Pat for all his preparations for the event, as well as to those who volunteered to help out.
