Description
Bandera Falls is a low-gradient section with minimal technical challenges, typical of the Medina River's upper stretches. The rapid features scattered rock formations and potentially shallow water during low flow periods, requiring careful navigation and potential boat scouting. Paddlers should be prepared for potential route-finding and potential portages around obstacles during lower water conditions.
