Class II Rio Grande, TX

Boquillas Canyon (Rio Grande Village to Heath Canyon Ranch)

The Rio Grande provides a variety of recreational opportunities that allow visitors to experience a spectacular river corridor as it carves its way through the Chihuahuan Desert. Colorful, expansive landscapes give way to vault-like canyons that carry travelers through time and space, providing world-class year-around boating, hiking, camping, wildlife viewing, photography, and natural springs. Visitors can enjoy and experience rare desert flora and fauna, solitude, natural sounds, and amazing night skies in a remote and dramatic landscape that is largely wild and undeveloped.

The rapids in this relaxing 2-4 day river trip only rate up to Class II. Camping on the gravel bars is allowed within the park on the US side of the river.
