Texas whitewater - Llano River - South Fork, Kimble County

Kimble county, Telegraph to South Llano River SP section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     10 miles
 
I canoed the South Llano last year in June and I can say that the secenery was beautiful, but the water was constantly murky and the fishing was terrible (especially fly fishing). Also there are many flat parts of the river that require a tremendous amount of paddling and not a lot of fast moving water at all. Says Paddler

The Llano river is awful. It is also very dirty. Says Jim

Too many people are on this stretch of river. It used to be an excellent float now the beer cans and trot lines have taken it over. Says DANNY
