SUMMARY: The San Jacinto River in northeast Harris County, Texas, particularly the stretch from Lake Houston Dam to Highway 90 known as Banana Bend, has a high incidence of drowning deaths.

Authorities emphasize wearing life jackets and following safety practices to prevent drownings, which Jasper believes could avert 90% of incidents.
