Castell Crossing is a 950 foot stretch of riverfront on the Llano River that is open from 30 minutes before sunset to 30 minutes after sunset. This is the perfect place to spend the day enjoying the beautiful clear water and walking along the rocky shore.
This stretch of river is the perfect launching or returning point for Kayaks and Canoes. Any non-motorized boats or floating devices are allowed on the river.
Castell Crossing is a popular fishing spot for bank fishing as well as boat fishing. Guadalupe Bass, Largemouth Bass, Channel Catfish and Sunfish are all commonly found on this stretch of the Llano River.
Swimming is also allowed on this section of the river, but is done at your own risk. The river is shallow and slow moving towards the edge, but can become deeper and faster moving toward the center. Swimmers should exercise caution while swimming in the river.
With so many activities to enjoy Castell Crossing is the perfect way to spend a sunny day.
