Paddling???A chance I'll trailer too, can not imagine getting that close to the Buffalo and not paddling a few days.
Cool - Thank!I've done almost the entire Buffalo, it was the first river to get the Wild and Scenic designation. Very pretty bluffs, awesome scenery pretty much the whole way. Chance you will see elk and eagles. Chance you will see water mocs and feral hogs too. Not really whitewater, you do not need special equipment if you have some skill paddling you will probably be fine. There is significant current, falling in in April can be pretty chilly.
I've got guide books, have been leading trips for years. If there is interest, I can bring a few extra boats and paddles. Spend one day on the water, the rest of the time on the bike. I may try to tack a day on to either end of the weekend for paddling too. I'm flexible.
If anyone else wants to paddle, I can identify a suitable section, flesh out some details. https://www.nps.gov/buff/planyourvisit/maps.htm
Plastic. Lots of rocks in the Buffalo.Cool - Thank!
Which'd be better - the glass boat or plastic? Hate to take the glass one down rapids full of rocks.
Do a google search, lots of places rent, that makes shuttle much easier. Unless one of you guys have a vehicle along, with suitable roof racks. 16 foot boats don't fit in a pick up truck bed too well. And I sure don't know how to strap one onto my Super Tenere!Running a river sounds like an excellent idea. Are there places to rent?
Check out Buffalo River Outfitters in Ponca Ark which is about 30 miles west (up river) from Marble Falls resort.Running a river sounds like an excellent idea. Are there places to rent?
Damn, I need to shit or get off the pot deciding on this ride. I also have a FJR rally the following weekend in SE Ohio I would like to hit. Taking the Tenere and hitting them both would be a great first out of state ride of the season.Made my reservations for camping at Marble Fall today.
Reminder:
The rates for rooms and camping go UP after Tuesday, December 31, 2019.
