If you're coming from Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, as you can see on the road map further down. The nature scenery of Hamilton Coryell County and the water flowing gracefully down Cowhouse Creek make the trip here worthwhile. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
A good workout and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Texas are easier than the national norm, so better not forget that many of the sections here are safe for beginners. This is the only paddling section along
Cowhouse Creek. This stretch of Cowhouse Creek in Hamilton Coryell County is 33 miles long and is a class II+ section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. A stretch this long is of course too much for a one day trip, so make sure you pack enough food along with your camping gear.
