The trail is located on the San Marcos River and is a gentle route for paddlers of all levels. The river consists of calm pools and a few areas of very mild rapids. The trail is very shady with lots of large trees. Depending on current water conditions there may be a few areas of obstruction that paddlers will need to navigate around. The take-out spot is just before a dam so pay close attention to making it to the take-out spot. Shuttling of vehicles is required as there are different access points for put-in and take-out.
