HWY 66 Motorsports, San Antonio

Cacti dot Canyon Lake's shoreline, where one of Canyon Lake Adventures' students looks skyward. He straps a giant fan to his back, and—once started—it sends an attached parasail into the sky. The adventurer is paramotoring, a sport which Canyon Lake Adventures' training program helps thrill seekers to master. As he soars high above the lake's sparkling waters, he marvels at canyon walls that glow in the setting sun.

The staff experts at Canyon Lake Adventures make these scenes come true every day, along with wakeboarding, skiing, and tubing from blue Centurion Enzo 240 boats at five lakes near San Antonio and three lakes by Austin. Out in Oregon, dirt bikes fly across the business’s 22 acres of motocross trails, whose main track stretches more than a mile through lush, candy-cane forests of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument.
