Texas whitewater - Cowhouse Creek, Hamilton Coryell County

Hamilton Coryell county, Parsley to Pidcoke section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II+     33 miles
  The nature scenery of Texas and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often easier than elsewhere, so you'd better keep in mind that many runs in this state are very easy. The Parsley to Pidcoke stretch is the only paddling stretch along Cowhouse Creek. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you won't find a large number of other rivers. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. For all you
    camping people there are campgrounds nearby. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. A stretch this long is of course too much for a one day
trip, perfect for a real wilderness adventure. This stretch of Cowhouse Creek is 33 miles long and is a class II+ section of whitewater according to American Whitewater.
