Texas whitewater - Terlingua Creek, Brewster County

Brewster county, Agua Fria Road to FM 170 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-IV     23 miles
  The scenic beauty of Brewster County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream will make you feel great. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are not so many other good rivers for that around here. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. The Agua Fria Road to FM 170 stretch of Terlingua Creek
    is 23 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class III-IV section of whitewater. The average Texas whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so don't forget that quite a few of the sections here are pretty
easy. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so pack your camp stove.
