Texas whitewater - Cherokee Creek, San Saba County San Saba county, FM 501 to Colorado Bend SRA Road section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS III-IV     9 miles   I've lived on the CHerokee above the 501 put in for 6 years. THe usual flow is 10-20 cfs in a good year. However, I have seen it up over 18,000cfs and it came up 32' in 4 hours back in 2004. At anything over 2000-3000cfs be very carefull of the wire, cattle panels, cable, and barbed wire at what we call the water gaps. There's at leat one at each landowner's property line. In a flood they break and trail downstream and may be invisible till you're trapped....................WT Fleming Says Wendell Fleming Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots     in Texas tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so don't forget that many of the sections here are safe for beginners.
