The Half Day Family Float

Join one of our half-day float trips through the open mountainous country of the Big Bend Ranch State Park.

Perfect for families with young children and folks short on time, this 2 ½ hour river journey explores a three mile section of river just upstream from Lajitas.

Get a taste of the vast wonder and beauty of the Rio Grande and see why people return to the Big Bend for our overnight trip!
