Del Rio - Whitewater Rafting

Del Rio is named for the Rio Grande River, which has Texas's most daring whitewater along its impressive length. The river itself flows close to Del Rio, but to reach the navigable rapids of the Rio, you'll need to travel along the border toward Big Bend. When you reach these rapids, you'll find what you reach both beautiful and intense.

Select Rafting Guides and Outfitters for a list of raft, kayak, and canoe companies in the area that offer rentals or guided trips.




Rio Grande - Boquillas Canyon Up to Class II
2-4 days
Boquillas Canyon marks a long and leisurely run between canyon walls that climb to 1,200 feet, but despite their size, are more awesome than oppressive.


Rio Grande - Mariscal Canyon Up to Class III
1-2 days
You can’t even reach this canyon without four-wheel drive, it’s so remote. It’s also pretty short; the run’s only ten miles long, but it's ten miles run between limestone cliffs that are almost as tall as Santa Elena’s walls (these climb up to 1,400 feet).


Rio Grande - Santa Elena Canyon Up to Class IV
1-3 days
Santa Elena Canyon is the most popular part of the Rio Grande to raft, not just because it’s about as accessible as accessible can get, but because it’s gorgeous.


Rio Grande - The Lower Canyons Up to Class IV
5-10 days
The Lower Canyons are daunting. A typical route down this portion of the Rio Grande takes anywhere from five to ten days and the rapids range from Class II to Class IV in intensity.


Rio Grande River Up to Class IV
4 or more days
The Rio Grande is more than a river, it is a boundary between countries. But even so, it remains remote and lonely, the Chihuahuan Desert surrounding it closely as opposed to city after city.
