The Agua Fria Road to FM 170 section of Terlingua Creek is 23 miles long and has been rated as a class III-IV section by American Whitewater. The wonderful Texas scenery and the cool fresh water make the trip here worthwhile. There are some good stretches to paddle in this river system, the Agua Fria Road to FM 170 stretch is one of them. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of |
paddling spots. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. If you have the time you can make this
| a two day trip, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that a lot of the rivers in this state are suitable for beginners.
