If I see you on the creek you will at the very least go to jail for trespassing. Says Land Owner Hi Land Owner, On the offhand chance you may be back to read this, Kayakers are some of the most respectful people in the world. Why would you want to send someone to jail for simply passing thru a navigable stream that runs thru your land? I don't get it. You know, if it's that much of an issue, you could charge people entry or just insist they check in with you first.  Most people aren't     looking for trouble. Says Paddler The nature scenery of Burnet County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here. This section of Rocky Creek in Texas is 7.5 miles long and is a class II section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. This is a pretty decent length section, suitable for an afternoon trip. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master in this state than those in other states, so better not forget that lots of rivers here are good for beginners.
