Part of our ranch is situated along the banks of Texas’ Nueces River, where many fun hours are spent. Access to this river is very limited; therefore, you will probably be totally alone in this world except for the wildlife that calls it home and welcomes you to its territory. Whether you are kayaking, taking a canoeing trip, fishing, swimming your horse, picnicking on the banks, quietly exploring for birds or just relaxing in the cool water, this is a great place to be. |

 The
river also has historical intrigue to it. Our swimming
area on the river is said to be the site of the
De Leon Crossing, where gold was supposed to have
been buried in the 1800s. Additionally, the Indians
sat on these banks in TX centuries ago, forming
their arrowheads out of the natural churt that is
plentiful here. The Nueces River also connects the
main ranch to the McGloin
property, which further enhances the intrigue
of the river with stories of folklore and apparitions |
|
| We provide kayaks and / or a canoe for our guests to
use, either for a playful afternoon or a full-day trek
down the river, exploring under low-hanging, moss-covered
trees. Wildlife is plentiful here, as deer pause and gaze
at you, turkeys gobble as you drift by and birds of all
sorts quietly glide overhead. Fishing is also a great
sport here as prized catfish are pulled from the river
on a regular basis. |

 There
is a beautiful sandbank that provides a perfect spot
for an intimate picnic or a cooling swim. We will deliver
a special lunch to you
or you can take a lazy stroll on horseback to the picnic
grounds on the river with your lunch in your saddlebag.
A quilt or chilled bottle of champagne will be provided
for you; one only needs to be ready to relax and enjoy
a good book or maybe a nap as your life slows its pace
and you relax for the afternoon.
Regardless of how you choose to enjoy the Nueces River,
it is definitely a vital part of life here and provides
tremendous opportunities for fun and relaxation while
you vacation
at the Knoelle Farm Bed and Breakfast.
