Texas whitewater - White Rock Creek, Dallas County

Dallas county, 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
