Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.

    here are suitable for beginners. The beautiful scenery of Texas and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far. This river system has a few good paddling stretches and the FM 170 to Rio Grande section is one of them. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. This
stretch is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so pack your sleeping bag.
