Texas whitewater - Neches River, Anderson Cherokee County Anderson Cherokee county, Lake Palestine to US 175 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II+     3 miles   scouted at put in and half mile downstream. the stream has enough water to paddle and there is plentiful wildlife in the area. there is nothing more than a ripple down this stream though and there is garbage everywhere at the put in and the first half mile. the take out looks almost impassably overgrown. i did not even bother scouting it more closely as i have little interest in watching a great blue heron stand on a dirty, old, carboard beer box. Says jon This stretch of Neches River in Texas is 3 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater     as a class II+ section. The nature scenery of Anderson Cherokee County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle.
