Cow Creek is no doubt Navigable by Statue! Says Justin Woodall Live nearby, very infrequently enough water to float a canoe or even a tube.. For canoe or Kayak you'll need water just after a large flood. Warning -     all private property in this section, several ranchers have fenced across the riverl Says dee From FM 1174 to Lake Travis Cow Creek seldom has enough flowing water to float a toy canoe. The entire length of Cow Creek passes through private property. I submit that whitewater enthusiasts look elsewhere for a suitable stream.

The average Texas whitewater   rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that a lot of the rivers in this state are suitable for beginners.
