About this event
A pleasant and relatively short run on the Brazos above San Felipe. The distance is roughly 14.25 miles. There are no unusual hazards in this stretch, with only a couple of minor rocky areas. The put in and take out are a bit steep and generally fairly muddy, but this is, after all, the Brazos. <br /><br />Large mammal fossils and petrified wood are frequent on the gravel bars, as are interesting mussels. The bottom section of the run- about six miles of it, becomes wide and slow due to the back up from the Killer Fang rapid, just below the take out.<br /><br />This is a nice short run for those who have wanted to try the Brazos but don't like the 20+ mile distances on many of the stretches. Pace will be moderate and stops frequent.<br /><br />Registration required.
