Rio Vista Whitewater Park

San Marcos - 2. San Marcos City Park to Westerfield Crossing (5.5 miles) (TX)

Gauge Conditions
Runnable: 140.0 – 500.0 CFS
Description

A series of three artificial drops.  The chute on the top drop creates a one-boat-wide wave (or wave-hole, depending on the level.)  The second drop is usually just a small wave train, and the third is a small (usually shallow) ledge hole.  These drops are generally runnable by all types of kayaks (although recreational kayaks without thigh straps will probably get flipped in the top drop) and properly-outfitted whitewater canoes.  Recreational canoes will want to portage.  At very high flows (> 250 cfs), some boof lines open up at river left on the top drop.

See separate description of the whitewater park for information on the playability of the features at various levels.
