Best Kayaking River?

[HARDWAY78]

Hadn't been yet, but have done my research for the past 2 years. Still trying to set up a trip, but the Devil's River is the destination. According to TPWD it has the cleanest and clearest water of any natural water body in the state of Texas. Takes 2 days to yak and has an excellent small mouth bass fishery. As soon as I'm finally able to set it all up that's where I'm going. There's a few outfitters online that will charter kayak trips down the river, but they ain't cheap

Buffalo national river in Arkansas.

We did the same potion of the neches as Ken. Took us the same amount off time. We had one kayak and one canoe. My last canoe trip, kayaks only from now on.

There is a lake in Arkansas that is mostly owned by the Army Corp of Engineers. It it's full off islands and you can camp on any of them. Probably my next trip.

Lake Ouachita in Hot Springs, Arkansas is a beautiful lake. At night you can see all the fires burning on the little islands. Great lake to camp, fish, swim and boat. Lake Ouachita state park is one if the cleanest parks I have ever camped at. I would highly recommend it!

The Cossatot river feeds Gillham lake. Great camping and fishing on the lake. In the spring, when they have good rain, the Cossatot rates as high as class 5 whitewater.

Plenty RV camp sites on the lake. Water and power hookups. Corp lake.

Arkansas, about 60 miles north of Texarkana.

Will have to lookin into this.

South Llano River out of Junction is a nice trip.

The Devils River is awesome, you wont find another like it in Texas. Have to be shuttled to the river though

This is what I was going to say^^^^^^^^


Neches, and southern part of the Pecos(if water is good)

The Rio Grande south from Laredo.

The Cossatot can be a class 5, like LostHawg says. Lots of tilted rock beds and tricky places. Very challenging. The Little Missouri (Arkansas) is supposed to be fast also. The Mulberry in Northern Arkansas can be very good too. Beautiful and scenic, it has lots of rapids and not a whole lot of flat water. Also, look at the Glover in Oklahoma. If it is above 4.5' it is moving and is fun for kayaking. Don't do it below 4' though, you will drag and drag and drag. Personal experience speaking.

The Rio Grande south from Laredo.

The Tecate Journals.

A book about a guy that mountain biked, rafted and canoed the Rio Grande from El Paso to the Gulf. Interesting read but not a trip I would want to do.

Llano was pretty low in Junction three weeks ago.

[BowVista]

The Guad is my favorite as far as fun and scenery.

I've caught the most fish on the Brazos below Whitney.

The Devil's is at the top of my "Gotta Go" list!
