Paddle trail # 6 
Panther Cave is quite a bit farther down river than Parida and would make for a long day, but can be done in one day by very enthusiastic paddlers. There may not be any good camping places along the Rio Grande at this time due to the water level being near conservation pool, but there are many side canyons that could prove to be hospitable. Panther Cave is one of the best preserved Lower Pecos River style rock art sites boasting a large panel of pictographs which include the 9 foot-long panther that gives this site its name.

A general note: For all of these trips, be sure to bring plenty of drinking water, a large brimmed hat for shade, sunglasses, a long sleeved shirt and pants. Do not forget to cover up as the sun can really burn you out on the lake. Please be environmentally conscientious and pack out all of your trash. Do not use glass containers. And remember that all things living and nonliving are protected under federal law. Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints.

Guided tours: Any of these trips as well as longer trips up to a week can be guided and catered.
