Trail 7

Paddle trail # 7 
Pecos Railroad Bridge. Also called the "High Bridge" is located about 6 miles up river from the Pecos launch ramp. An excellent day trip, the Pecos river is a very scenic one with colorful, high cliffs riddled with side canyons to explore. It is rich in lush vegetation and lots of wildlife to observe. Birding is especially good year round.

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.
