This section of Frio River is 12 miles long and it is classified as a class II-III section by American Whitewater. This river system has a few good paddling stretches and the Garner State Park to Concan section is one of them. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. The nearby hotels are a bit |

away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The starting location is a short drive from Uvalde, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. You might
| | be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there are not so many other good places for that around here.

bag too.
