Rowing in Dallas

Rowing Life in Dallas

Dallas rowers train on White Rock Lake and at the Bachman Lake area, with a growing masters and junior scene. Summers are brutally hot, so the erg becomes the default venue for midday training, while mornings and evenings bring crews out on the water.

When to Row in Dallas

Dallas has four distinct seasons. On-water rowing is generally possible from late spring through early fall, while cold winters from November through March make indoor erging the main training modality. Local clubs and CrossFit boxes with Concept2 ergs become the hub of rowing fitness during winter.
