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

The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Texas are often more forgiving than in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Dallas
