Belt Line Road to US 75 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-III 5.25 miles
Not a bad run, a little shallow in places though. Take out point requires dragging boat up a steep incline. Also there are lots of man made obstacles to avoid, sever man hole covers protruding from the bottom. There are also 2 manmade water falls that will sneak up on you. Says John Webber

The beautiful scenery of Dallas County and the cool fresh water have people coming here. White Rock Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Belt Line Road to US 75 stretch is the only one.
