Planning a 8 person Kayak Trip in Texas

Hello, I am trying to plan a bachelor party trip for a weekend in October. Could you give me some rivers that would be great for us. we are experienced backpackers but haven’t been on many river adventures. we would love for something fun and challenging but nothing too much to kill us lol
maybe something south texas?

Colorado and Brazos come to mind.
A group on the water can be a handful.
I would discourage people from alcohol and drugs on the water.
Come up with a plan for cooking meals and camp chores.
Good luck.

check out the devils river near del rio or village creek or trinity river outside of Houston. My list would be a lot longer but I’m not sure how much the hill country rivers have recovered from the flooding- perdenales, guadalupe, llano, san marcos. If you are near dallas you might enjoy the water trails at caddo lake. Texas is a big place!
