Re: Easy/lazy areas to kayak?
My boys and I kayaked the guadalupe from the state park to Hwy 281 during Spring Break. When we first got there the river was flowing at 3000 cfs due to the earlier storms so we waited for a couple of days until it hit 650 cfs. It was a great run we traveled the 9 miles in 3.5 hrs. We didnt have the clear water we were wanting but everything else fell in line. There were a few white water spots but nothing that couldnt be navigated or you couldnt portage around. We ran into a couple of class II rapids, a strainer (below sphects crossing on river left) that could easily be avoided and a low head dam that has a spot built in (river right) to run over.
There were many creeks and falls running into the guadalupe during our run. Honey Creek located just below the state park is something you need to check out! There were several sets of falls flowing in this area as well.
The normal CFS for this portion is <200 cfs and you could end up dragging your kayaks around the shallows. Have fun be safe!
