county,
Rio Lucio to Confluence Rio Grande section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
The natural beauty of New Mexico and the water flowing gracefully down Rio Pueblo are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. This section is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so why not pack your camp stove too. There are no other sections to paddle along Rio Pueblo than the Rio Lucio to Confluence Rio Grande section. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside New Mexico you might find the rivers here a bit more manageable,
so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The Sangre
De Cristo Mountains scenery is wonderful. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp.
