The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. This stretch of Bee House Creek is 9 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II section. Bee House Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Slater Road to Pidcoke section is the only one. Some people prefer whitewater
    rafting and some kayaking, either way there are not so many other good rivers for that around here. The scenic beauty of Texas and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time
outdoors have a lot of people coming here. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This stretch is mid length, good for a one day paddling trip.
