  Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Texas tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so better not forget that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. The wonderful Texas scenery and the playfulness of the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. The FM 2400 to Pecos River stretch of Independence Creek in Terrell County is 24 miles long and has been rated as a class II+ section by American Whitewater. Independence Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches,
    the FM 2400 to Pecos River stretch is the only one. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so go ahead and pack your camping stuff.
