FM 1690 to Rumley section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II+ 5 miles
I just floated a 25 mile stretch of the Lampasas river from the hwy190 bridge in kemper to the 195 bridge near florence. It was a very scenic trip but the water levels at this time of year is a little low. All in all it was a good float, but the water could have been a little higher. not too much white water and a lot of downed trees blocking the path. Good easy float. but like i said, it needs more water to be a better ride. David Johnson, SGT US ARMY Says David Johnson
The natural beauty of Lampasas County and the cool fresh water will
make you feel great. Getting your paddling muscles activated and spending some quality time in nature have people coming from far and near. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because
these hotels fill up quick. There are no other stretches to paddle along Lampasas River than the FM 1690 to Rumley stretch. The FM 1690 to Rumley stretch of Lampasas River is 5 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II+ section of whitewater. On this section you do get some distance, good for a one day paddling trip. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The average Texas whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't
forget that quite a few of the sections here are pretty easy.
