Frio River Activities: Rivers Create Memories
You can’t go wrong when it comes to water activities in Concan—from boating on the Frio river all day long to hiking or camping at Lost Maples State Park. Fishing is another popular activity on the Frio River, and you can even take a day trip to hunt deer or wild boar. Hook up with a local outfitter to get your gear in order before tubing, fishing, or hunting.
People who like to explore will find all sorts of outdoor activities available. The Frio is one of the most popular rivers for tubing and kayaking in all of Texas, so going out on this river should be a must-see on your itinerary if you’re a fan of the water. Many people come to float the river, which isn’t just fun, but also a great way to cool off. Or you can pack up a picnic and hang out by the banks on a hot summer day. Ask one of our friendly staff members if you have any questions!
