The ideal water levels for tubing on the Frio River can range between 25 and 500 cubic feet per second (cfs). Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

Low Water Levels (typically below 100 cfs): Tubing can be slow and there may be many shallow spots where you have to walk your tube. 

More Ideal Water Levels (100 - 300 cfs): These levels are great for tubing! The current is strong enough to carry you downstream without much effort, and most of the riverbed will be deep enough to avoid touching the bottom.

High Water Levels (300 - 500 cfs): Water levels are high, and the current will be faster. It’s important to be cautious as the speed of the water can make it more difficult to steer and navigate, especially for children or less experienced tubers. 

Very High Water Levels (typically above 500 cfs): The river can be very fast and powerful.
