Kayaking San Marcos - Clearest River in Texas (Swimming Hole)

Can I please use this footage for my video?

Man 2 years ago, this exact spot is what led me to fall in love with being out on the water in the this great Lone Star State of ours all over again and helped transform my life at a time when I needed it the most. So awesome to see y’all come and enjoy and experience it and express how important it is to make sure we protect these special places. Keep on flowin man, and take me with!! Haha!!

No you don’t I go there all the time feels good

lol, the water is 72 degrees fahrenheit all day every day year around, not freezing. If you can't handle that, I don't know what to tell ya.

Where about’s is this swimming hole please Sir?

What sunglasses are those?

🐾 💪🏊⚓ 🙀 📡📊 ❤️ ⛱️🥪🍺 "flow rate"

Imagine having to wear the suit to swim in that water when it’s hot out. When I was at Texas State we’d jump in the San Marcos river in the winter because the water is warmer than the outside temperature

You do not have to wear a suit to get in the water.

May all the medically ignorant politicians never do this again. Shut down all the parks for a respiratory disease. So everyone can stay indoors and catch said respiratory disease. Idiots. Love your videos.

Are there gators in that water?

Hey Gatewood. Did you ever get back on the San Marcos for a camping trip? And if so, what section did you target?

84 and 85 i lived one block off the trestle near rio vista dam....put in at the trestle ....rode up and down from rio vista to pepper falls (pepper is where steve mcqueen made love in the water to ali mcgraw when he got out of huntsville prison).....spent many hours days on this very trip....the water was very clear in 84 85....

Your energy is contagious, you have me wondering what music you listen to and what you do to have such a calming electric spirit. ⚡️ Today my family and I are driving up to San Marcos just because of this video. Thank you 🙏 Godbless.

great vid! so happy things are somewhat back to normal, although the crowds are back as well.. lol. what's that wetsuit top you're wearing? those are hard to come by.

I’m interested to know what paddle you’re using.

the devils river is the cleanest clearest river in texas

The devils river in Texas is also nice, another river system to check out is in Missouri, the current river, the springs that feed that river are amazing.

Thanks so very much for sharing this knowledge with me 🇨🇱🧡

Words cannot describe the stupidity of closing rivers and parks because of Covid. Don't these people realize that sunshine and fresh air aren't dangerous?

What type of camera do you use?

My buds and I used to hang out there before Spanish class at SWT wondering how we were going to pass the class, since the only language we understood and could tawk was Texan. The way we passed was NASTY and ingenious (thought up by me!) I also met Steve McQueen and Allie Macgraw there one afternoon...he was really short, and she had crooked teeth, but I still let them use my snorkeling equipment. One of the most magical places on the planet...and I have been around!

You didn't show the three water falls section, that's one of the best.

San Marcos springs has 72F water year round.. Not freezing for most people and for sure not wetsuit required. No one uses them in summer. Great tubing place. Now open

I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT IN SAN MARCOS & THIS SWIMMING PLACE! ✨✨✨

your videos seem to all be extended Remote Design commercials

so glad to be moving here!

Frio River is the most amazing river! Definitely go there!

I used to swim this spot as a kid and teenager. It was always my favorite spot.

That’s my favorite river to kayak camp

That’s sick man!

I love the San Marcos river. It’s so much deeper than it looks.

Sick dude! Love it

Awesome vid just subbed was wondering what water shoes you use?

Re you gonna do a review of your Ascend kayak? How easy is it to paddle? How does it do on rough water?

Still wondering how you don’t have millions of views. Great video as usual!

Nice to have pages like this to show more parts of Texas than most of us knew of or ever thought about going to! Hello from the David and Mercy Whipple channel!

Looks like a great spot! It's not too far from home, so I'll definitely have to check it out! Anxiously awaiting your release of the Remote Designs gear!

I wonder if you have looked at a Bonafide 123EX sit in? Would it be good to use for camping trips on the Texas rivers?

What kayak are you using?

Hey man I go to Texas State university shouts out the Olympic center glad y’all enjoyed the river

👌

Awesome video! Did you have any trouble with the University/ SM Police?

Isn’t that the water fall next to the steak house?

They can close the park but cannot cancel the adventure. Excellent video. Nice looking pack as well.

I live in East Texas (Tyler), all we have are muddy lakes and rivers. Any recommendations on some places near that have clearer water?

Honestly gatewood brown is the reason I got into kayaking as a hobbie and i love it so much I now have 2 kayaks 😂.

Didnt see any 🐟 🐠 fish ?
