Floating down one of Texas’ many rivers is almost a right of passage – you aren’t a true Texan until you’ve done it. Since it’s such a popular activity, crowds are impossible to avoid… or so we thought. There’s a hidden swimming hole in Texas that offers private access to the pristine Frio River. Only 30 people are allowed in per day, so no matter how fast word spreads, it will remain a quiet and peaceful oasis.

One of the most secluded stretches of the entire Frio River straddles a privately owned, 450-acre family ranch just one mile from Concan - and they allow guests!
