Texas whitewater - Meridian Creek, Bosque County

Bosque county, Bosque Cty Road 347 to SH 6 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II     8 miles
  The average Texas whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be easier to run than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that lots of rivers here are good for beginners. The wonderful Bosque County scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The Bosque Cty Road 347 to SH 6 stretch of Meridian Creek is 8 miles long and is a class II section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. If you'll be staying in a hotel you're in luck, lodging is available very near the
    river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling places.
Meridian Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Bosque Cty Road 347 to SH 6 stretch is the only one. On this section you do get some distance, it's good length for a morning trip. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more.
