Thread: frio river and concan question

Well, on the Frio, it's ALL good. Seriously though, different people have different opinions about where a good location is. Young people have a way of finding the cool places. The reason we have returned to the Frio for 37 years (as a couple) is the diverse choices of the river. There are deep places for tree jumping and shallow places for toddlers and chairs sitting in the river just to sit and talk and people watch. It would take a local to tell you exactly where spots will be deep as the spring floods can change the river very quickly. We were always excited to see the river for the first time to see what had changed from our last visit. There is a lot of river crossings that seem to be popular with the kids. We have a place with some solitude and moving water waiting for us also in June. The kids will definitely want to visit Garner State Park to go to the dance at the pavilion around dark-thirty. Our grandkids go to the dance once or twice when they are there, oldest being 10 and youngest will be 2 by then. They love THE DANCE. We are older than kids now but we still like bike riding and some hiking but that is mostly in the park. I think there is still horseback riding close by and maybe putt-putt golf too.
Good luck with your visit and I hope for your sake and ours that the river gets some showers before our visits.

I am not familiar with those cabins. You might check out Welcome to funrivers.com- Your Link to The Frio River Canyon to see if they have any info. They post on here from time to time and may have some direct knowledge for you. A great area of the state to visit wherever you stay.

Have fun

Your doing good to get a reservation in June. I would say, go on out there and have fun. While there, travel up and down the river , checking out the many campgrounds. And like everyone says, You have to go to the dance at Garner. You may have to drag the kids there but they will be begging you to take them back again. Have a great time!

The river crossing near Neal's is a good spot. Some deep areas but mostly shallow. One of Texas Highways' "best swimming holes in Texas" is near that spot. (just find the big leaning rock)

While you may have to "walk" the Frio instead of floating it, you will come across areas where the river is wade and deep. You just can't get to these spots any other way because of there being no public access.

Whether it's running low, high or normal, you will not find a prettier river in the whole of Texas.
