CLASS II-III+     83.5 miles
  This stretch of Rio Grande in Brewster Terrell County is 83.5 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II-III+ section of whitewater. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master in this state than those in other states, so don't forget that many runs in this state are very easy. This is the only paddling section along Rio Grande. A stretch this long is of course too much for a one day trip, perfect for a real wilderness adventure. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive
    a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. The campgrounds here at Rio Grande are pretty good. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of people. The nature scenery of Texas and the cool
fresh water make the trip here worthwhile.
