Midsummer on the Frio River



Still dry, gettin hotter, and needin rain. The almost 1" that fell over four days last week has disappeared, but the vegetation looks better from it. According to our guests who are taking tube trips, 7 Bluffs down to the 2nd crossing is still about the best. However, we ran across some folks at Bunk Falls yesterday who had put in at 7 Bluffs, and were going all the way to the 1st crossing. It had taken them about 4 1/2 hours, which was an improvement from before the rains. We have a slight chance of rain in the forecast, so keep your fingers crossed! All of the pictures here are from yesterday afternoon, 7/15.

Hangin out at the 3rd crossing,


& lookin upstream.

These three photos were shot just below Bunk Falls, with the next get out for these folks at the 1st crossing. Please remember, all of the property that borders the Frio River is private, so if you trespass, it better be an emergency .


Everybody's havin fun, so you better make plans soon to come on out. We still have a few scattered openings during the week, so check our calendars and give us a call.
See yall at the Frio!

We will be there next week and cannot wait. While I wish for all the businesses and visitors out there that rain would come, I am not going to let that keep me from enjoying the Frio River and the area surrounding it. Its beautiful any time of year and with low water. We will be looking for you beginning next Tuesday FrioMan.

We were at the river this week and the river was low but we still had alot of fun! My kids really enjoyed it. But is there a way to find other cabins/houses in the area? We enjoyed the place we stayed at but we also saw different cabins/houses to reserve but did not get names for next year.

We are planning a trip to the Frio next week. Don't know much about the area, but have visited once and loved it. Can I find a map somewhere that shows where all the "crossings" you speak of are located?

How does one organize a float trip? We will have about 8 people, and I would like to make arrangements ahead of time if possible, so as to avoid confusion.

Thanks a bunch.

Cindy-go to www.FrioMan.com for fantastic vacation home choices.

srparker-i guess by now you've made your trip to the Frio, and probably back home. we are back online after a computer glitch last week. I hope you were able to find the maps of the Frio Canyon, put out by the Frio Canyon Chamber of Commerce. The best thing to do for planning in the future, is to contact your host. They should be able to answer all of your questions. I am mostly familiar with the Concan area, so the folks you are staying with would be better able to help you.
