The starting location is a short drive from Austin-Round Rock, as you can see on the road map further down. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your camping stuff too. This river system is full of great paddling stretches, the Georgetown
    City Pk to Jonah stretch is just one of them. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. 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. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of people. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers.
