If you're coming from Dallas -Fort Worth-Arlington it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, as you can see on the road map further down. The wonderful Texas
scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This section of Rowlett Creek in Dallas County is 2 miles long and it is classified as a class II-III(IV) section by American Whitewater. If you've been whitewater
rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less demanding. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and near. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. This is the only paddling section along Rowlett Creek. This is a pretty short section
so better bring some good walking shoes. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are not so many other good places for that around here.
