US 183 to Oakalla section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II 7.5 miles
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
This stretch and all others of rocky creek are private. If I see you on the creek you will at the very least go to jail
for trespassing. Says Land Owner
This stretch of Rocky Creek is 7.5 miles long and has been rated as a class II section by American Whitewater. The put-in location is a short drive from Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood, as you can see on the road map further down. The wonderful
Burnet County scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water will make you feel great. This is a pretty decent length section, good for a one day paddling trip. Rocky Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the US 183 to Oakalla section is the only one. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are lots of good spots for that around here. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great
reasons to come. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Texas are easier than the national norm, so you'd better keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are pretty easy.
