Seven Bluffs parking

Remember how far away you had to park last year from the 3rd crossing? Well, some local entrepreneurs have done some work to make it more convenient. There is now a nice $10 parking area right at the Seven Bluffs crossing.




As you can see, it's already getting used quite a bit.

There were lots of visitors to the Frio River this weekend, but a guy like this, needs to stay home, or get an education in Texas River etiquette! For those of you who do not understand this harsh statement, note the GLASS bottle in his hand. Glass containers are not allowed in, on, or near our beautiful Rivers. All yall veterans out there, please spread the word and let folks know that what they are doing is dangerous. I preached some about this last summer, but maybe I need to put a reminder in every post. If you've ever seen someone coming out of the Frio with their foot, arm, or other body part cut by glass left by some uncaring person, then you'll see where I'm comin from. I don't want to see any confrontations started, but if you see someone with glass containers on the Frio, let them know what the consequences could be. That same beer bottle, if broken and in the gravel forever, may harm someone he cares for sometime in the future.

That's it for now. And PLEASE, take care of the Frio River and the property you are staying at while you are here. Respect your fellow vacationers and us local folks who are happy to have you.

Seeya soon! FrioMan

Thanks for the recent updates! We are ready to get our FRIO game on! I was wondering if you know how long it is taking to float from the 3rd crossing to the 2nd? We cant wait!

Hey pambenfer!
Our guests who stayed at Round Up this past weekend said it took them 2-2 1/2 hours to make that run.
Thanks for the comment, and I hope yall have a fantastic Frio vacation!

Hi Frioman! I was wondering how the river level is. It looks pretty good on the pictures. We don't leave to come up there until the 19th of June but are already counting the days!!! Just wondering how the river was flowing. Thanks!!!
