Description
The SH 16 crossing at Three-Mile Bridge presents minimal whitewater characteristics on the Medina River, with limited access and potentially challenging river conditions around the bridge structure. Paddlers should scout carefully for potential debris, bridge pilings, and water flow variations that could impact navigation through this section of the Garrison Dam to Bandera run.
