What Josh recommends:

Josh's Frio River Outfitter - Fishing, tubing, souvenirs in LeakeyTubing: The best runs for tubing are:
    Seven Bluffs Crossing to Kenneth Arthur "Frio Country" Crossing: +/-3 hours (tube times vary on water level, please call for the latest tubing times)
    Kenneth Arthur "Frio Country" to Neal's Crossing: on a tube +/-4 hours (tube times vary on water level, please call for the latest tubing times)
    Both tubing runs combined will take you ± 7 hours, in order to do this run you must be at the Concan location between 9:00-10:00. This is the longest float option available. Bring plenty of water and sunscreen.

Kayaking
    All of our kayaks come equipped with a life jacket and paddle. 
    We suggest Magers to Seven Bluffs to kayakers because it is a nice stretch of the River that is not highly trafficked by tubers. It is also a great spot to go fishing! (You don't have to worry about this portion of the Frio River being as busy as other runs of the Frio River. 
    Magers to Seven Bluffs on a kayak: +/-3 hours (kayak times vary on water level, please call for the latest kayaking times)
    7 bluffs to Neal's is also a nice run for kayakers we would suggest this run on weekdays or during morning hours on weekends when tubers are not crowding the water. 
    7 bluffs to Neal's on a kayak: +/-3 hours (kayak times vary on water level, please call for the latest kayaking times)

Note: We do not recommend canoeing the Frio River some areas are too narrow to maneuver a canoe or are too rough and it may be hard to keep from tipping over. 

Please keep in mind any estimated time we give you can vary from greatly from group to group depending on floating experience. 

Rules of Thumb when tubing the Frio River

Never get in the Frio River during a flood it is highly dangerous and could result in serious injury or death. The River is a strong force of nature. 

  • Be sure to wear good water shoes that will not fall off. The Frio River has a rock bottom and you may need to stand up along your float. We have a great selection of River shoes in both stores. 
  • Sunscreen, you will need to reapply throughout your tubing trip. Getting sunburned is no fun!
  • Sunglasses and Headwear. Be sure to come in and get a sunglass retainer from the store so they don't sink to the bottom of the River. 
  • Water, you will need it to keep hydrated.
  • Electronic devices such as cell phones and Digital Cameras are NOT ADVISED.
    Waterproof cameras are perfect, just make sure you attach them to something.
  • Do NOT take your car keys or room keys on the river.
  • Trash bags. Yellow mesh bags can be had to dispose of your trash while floating.
  • No Glass or Styrofoam on the Frio River let's keep it crystal clear and beautiful.
  • No jewelry or valuables, they may get lost in the River.
  • The Frio River is a family river. Please respect your fellow tubers, kayakers, swimmers and sitters, and be kind.

Josh's is not responsible for loss of property or injuries on the Frio River.
