Texas whitewater - Blanco River, Blanco Hays County Blanco Hays county, Blanco to Wimberly section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS I-V(V+)     35 miles   Just got back from a three day trip down this river. It was very scenic and beautiful. All of my crew were quite beat up after this trip though. At flows around 400 cfs there are some serious rapids on this section. There were many damns and there was also a fence constructed across the river just upstream from the Narrows. Lots of debris from the previous fence was found everywhere downstream along the river, so be careful not to get caught in those. The Narrows was downright freaky, and be prepared to carry boats and gear a long distance to get around     this hazard. All in all it was a great trip. Says Todd The scenic beauty of Texas and the water flowing gracefully down Blanco River are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This stretch of Blanco River is 35 miles long and it is classified as a class I-V(V+) section by American Whitewater. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling rivers. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Texas tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so you'd better keep in mind that a lot of the rivers here are suitable for beginners. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more. A stretch   this long is of course too much for a one day trip, perfect for a real wilderness adventure. Briefly about the general area: Turkey Hollow is close to Blanco River and is a good place.
