点评:First off - thank you Ranger Brian for an informative introduction to the DRSNA. I would recommend that everyone visiting here spend some time with this Ranger before heading out. He knows the area, and can save you some time and energy when heading for the river from the parking area. One of the best I have had the pleasure of visiting with over the years in the Texas State Parks system!
First, this is a no frills area. It is not the easiest to get to and others have already described the roads. I personally did not find them that rough, but I would not recommend traveling without good tires. If you have a tire problem, you need to know how to change a tire. There is no calling AAA, or anyone else for that matter.
Campsite 5 was mine, and it was great. Very peaceful, about 100 yds off the road, and scenic. Everything here either bites or stings from bushes to bugs to cactus. I did not notice any grass burrs for those of you with dogs, but plenty of thorns and cactus if your four legged companion is a city dog. The night sky is incredible.
We pulled kayaks from the parking lot to the river, just under a mile up and down hills. It was tough going in, even worse coming back out. Temp after my truck was moving at 109. Take a lot of water, both for drinking, and wetting your clothing down for evap cooling if you go when it is hot. The river is just like the pics show. An oasis in the desert.
As of this review date, a new parking area is being developed which will be much closer to the river when completed. Still, it won't be a walk in the park. Hope this review is helpful to others - this is not a place to visit if you expect any cell service, trash bins, or manicured trails.......but that weeds out the folks that probably should not be there anyway.
翻译:首先,感谢 Ranger Brian 对 DRSNA 的详尽介绍。我建议每个来这里的人在出发前花一些时间与这位护林员相处。他熟悉该地区,当您从停车场前往河边时,他可以为您节省一些时间和精力。多年来我有幸参观过德克萨斯州立公园系统中最好的公园之一!
首先,这是一个没有多余装饰的区域。它不是最容易到达的,其他人已经描述了道路。我个人并不觉得它们那么粗糙,但我不建议在没有好的轮胎的情况下旅行。如果您遇到轮胎问题,您需要知道如何更换轮胎。没有人打电话给 AAA 或任何其他人来处理此事。
5号营地是我的,非常棒。非常安静,距离公路约 100 码,风景优美。从灌木丛到虫子再到仙人掌,这里的一切都会咬人或蜇人。对于养狗的人来说,我没有注意到任何草毛刺,但如果你的四足伴侣是一只城市狗,就会发现很多荆棘和仙人掌。夜空令人难以置信。
我们把皮划艇从停车场拖到河边,在山上和山上滑下不到一英里。进去的时候很艰难,出来的时候更难受。我的卡车行驶后的温度为 109 度。带上大量的水,既可以饮用,也可以在天热的时候把衣服弄湿,以便蒸发冷却。这条河就像照片上显示的那样。沙漠中的绿洲。
截至本次审查日期,一个新的停车区正在开发中,建成后将更靠近河流。不过,这不会是在公园里散步。希望这篇评论对其他人有帮助——如果你期望有任何手机服务、垃圾桶或修剪整齐的小径,那么这不是一个值得参观的地方……但这会淘汰那些可能不应该在那里的人。
