Trinity River Trash

The portion of the Trinity River in Tarrant County is said to have more PCB's (toxins) than any other portion of the river.  And don't get us started on the trash in the river.

That's not stopping the Trinity River Vision Authority from looking at ways to make money off of it.  They want to make the Trinity a tubing destination.  Yes, you read that right.  Read about the latest scheme in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.  Don't miss the comments from THE PEOPLE. 

And for those who question the wisdom of swimming in the Trinity, officials say it is safe for tubing. While there are warnings against consuming fish from stretches of the Clear and West forks through Fort Worth, there are no advisories against swimming.


The Trinity is not a spring-fed river like the Comal or the San Marcos, but Rockin' R thinks that plenty of others like Burnett and Schultz might be willing to go tubing in Fort Worth.

"I think it would be good for a lazy Saturday or Sunday afternoon, regardless of what the perception is," Wolf said.
