Authorities said a portion of the San Jacinto River is notorious for drowning deaths and are urging people to be more aware when they visit.There's a portion of the San Jacinto River in northeast Harris County that has become notorious for drowning deaths. It's a stretch from the Lake Houston Dam to Highway 90, that's traditionally been referred to as Banana Bend.
Jasper added that they had six drownings in this stretch of the river in 2023. That included a 53-year-old man attempting to swim from the river to the shore."I think what makes it dangerous is the amount of people, their ability to swim, alcohol consumption, and there aren't lifeguards on duty," Jasper explained.
