The
San Marcos River is spring-fed and a constant 72 degrees. The water is so clear you can see the bottom. This downstream-only
trip is about 5 miles and will take 2.5 to 3.5 hours. We’ll experience minor, minor rapids and negotiate trees hanging over
the water. A sand bar offers a resting place for lunch. There are no portages! Restrooms are available at the put-in
location but not at the take-out location. Styrofoam and glass containers are prohibited on the river.
Bring: Sack lunch,
water, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a change of dry clothes. Wear water shoes or shoes that can get wet, bathing suit, shorts,
T-shirt.
