Devil's River Thread

[Anvilheadtexas]

The topic of paddling the Devils River came up several times on my Appalachian Trail thread. I thought I would move that conversation over to a dedicated Devil's River thread.

I would love to hear from anybody who has canoed or kayaked the river and anybody who might be interested in doing so. For whatever reason I always thought this was a longer trip? It's not which makes it possible for possibly next spring?

Let's hear what you have to say!

I want to do this trip!

If you get a chance to do it you should definitely do it

Next May for me. I've been wanting to do it for several years now.

i am fortunate enough to have seen many areas in and around the Devil's River as I work in the area... I have not floated it but I am very interested in getting the trip done. I live in Del Rio so depending on timing I could possibly host some people here at my place if it would help anybody.

I know there are different length trips with some requiring an outfitter while the longest one can be done DIY I believe. I will start gathering info to see what the different trip require.


Here is a link for the shuttle service along with some info on the different trips available...

I remembered reading this thread. If nothing else the pics will make you more excited about the trip.

is it better to bring your own yak or rent them from a outfitter?

[Mossback]

I'm in the process of researching yaks to buy for wife and I. We are doing this trip next year too.

I went on labor day weekend with a guide and my gf. I will never forget that trip. Just pray the weather holds up nice.
