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.
