Texas whitewater, Sandy Creek Llano county, Llano CR 310 to SH 71 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II+     4 miles   I have driven this area, and would be concerned about trespassing issues with leaving a vehicle at the put-in.  Any thoughts on that?  Thanks, Says Kevin The nature scenery of Texas and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. The Llano CR 310 to SH 71 stretch of Sandy Creek is 4 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II+ section of whitewater. There aren’t any hotels     right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Texas are often easier than in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that many of the sections in this state are safe for beginners. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with plenty of places for that. This is a pretty decent length section, it's good length for a morning trip. This is one of a small number of paddling sections in this river system, there are a few others too. The campgrounds here at   Sandy Creek are pretty good. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Kerrville, as you can see on the road map further down. Briefly about the general area: There's magnificent hiking along the Longhorn Cavern State Park Trail, and if you're here you will meet lots of folks from close by Round Mountain. Longhorn Cavern State Park is a good place to go if you're at Sandy Creek, and the Inks Lake State Park Trail offers hiking at its best. This river is so perfect. Everybody loves Inks Lake State Park, and Hogpen Hollow is in the neighborhood, and is a wonderful spot.
