About the sabinal river
The Sabinal River is a 64-mile-long river that runs from the Edwards Plateau in Texas to the Gulf of Mexico. Native Americans inhabited the area around the river for thousands of years before Spanish explorers arrived in the 16th century. The river has a low flow rate and is characterized by clear water, limestone bedrock, and large cypress trees. There are several reservoirs and dams on the river, including the Nueces River Dam and the Sabinal Canyon Dam. These reservoirs are used for flood control, agriculture, and recreation. The Sabinal River is a popular spot for kayaking, fishing, and swimming. The river is also an important source of water for irrigation and ranching in the surrounding area.
