Please don't leave your trash by the river. I'm tired of picking it up.
Thanks, and enjoy the river.
Justin R. Says Landowner

The natural beauty of Texas and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master in this state than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the sections here are safe for beginners. The FM 335 to Barksdale stretch of Nueces River in Texas is 10 miles long
    and has been rated as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. A good workout and just hanging out with mother 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. This section has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so why not pack your camping stuff too. This is the only paddling stretch along Nueces River. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way in this general area you won't find many other paddling rivers. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby.
