Once at the rivers edge you can walk upstream and find a place bordering shallow water or you can walk through the hip deep water and cross the river to the opposite shore where the prime swimming is located.
The Beach:
There are several gravel bars in the middle of the river which can be used as beach space, not much sand to be had.
Swimming:
There are shallow areas, quite a few places where the water is waste deep and a few places where the water is very deep and there are rocks to jump off of. The current is very swift here, be cautious, the trinity river can be a very dangerous river.
