Hidalgo Falls River Festival
The twelth annual Hidalgo Falls River Festival will be held on April 20, 2013 at the TRPA Hidalgo Falls property on the Brazos River near Navasota. The festival, which is the year’s major fund-raising event to provide paddlers’ access to the rapid, has attracted more than 200 paddlers and spectators in the past. Unlike in previous years, this year's event will be only a one-day affair. It will be an opportunity for paddlers, their families, and friends to explore the property, check out the tidepool-like river features, play in the rapid, have relaxing floats up and down the river, and enjoy hanging out with other boaters from around the state. We ask that people to contribute $10/person to help cover expenses (e.g., toilets, electricity). Our new bathhouse, equipped with showers, flush toilets, and lavatories, has made camping appealing to families. We have electricity for those with extension cords, but you will need to bring your own food and drinks. Camping is available only at the lower campground. For a map of the property, click on the Hidalgo Falls website. People will start arriving on Friday afternoon, so someone should be able to let you in the locked gate if you are not currently certified to access the property. (Opportunities to join TRPA and become certified to use the property will be available throughout the weekend.) Here are some pictures of the festival grounds and falls (courtesy: David Toledo) from the October 2010 festival: For general information about the festival, contact Steve Daniel (sdaniel@philosophy.tamu.edu)
