There are no other sections to paddle along Verde Creek than the SH 173 crossings N of Hondo section. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, good for a one day paddling trip. Some
people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are not so many other good places for that around here. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Kerrville, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. A bit of exercise
and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
