     Granger Lake is a wonderful lake right next door to Hejl Lake, and camping at Shady River Rv Resort is always a great experience. Hejl Lake is a good location of typical precipitation; the month with most of the rain is May, and the driest month is July. That right there is lots already, but it keeps on going; Hejl Lake has it all. Hejl Lake Dam is worth a visit while you're here, and if you don’t have a problem getting soaked, you can always go whitewater  
   paddling on Salado Creek. Hejl Lake is great enough to spend more than a day at, Davila RV Park is a great local campground.
Lakes are such peaceful sites, why not stop by Railroad Reservoir close to Hejl Lake, and after a long day outdoors Super 8 Salado is a nice place to spend a night or two. San Gabriel River has a great whitewater paddling spot nearby; going for a hike along the Chalk Ridge Falls Park Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of
 
               this neighborhood. This lake is so wonderful. Hiking along the Granger Lake - Taylor Park Trail is delightful fun; a good close by hotel is Best Western Taylor Inn.

Salado Creek
18 miles away
So, after reading the above review, the wife and I decided to give this river a shot (we live close by anyway). We have had tons of rain this year, and the water was moving at a pretty good clip. However, the creek bed is wide, making the water shallow. We spent at least 50% of the trip walking. There are a few deep pools, but they are few and far between. Also, not mentioned above, we crossed 4 dams. 2 were easy, 2 were not. Some of the scenery was very nice, but personally, I think it wasn't nice enough to risk twisting an ankle.
If you do decide to go, give yourself an minimum of 5 hours to complete the trip....

Chalk Ridge Falls Park Trail
19 miles away
I sat on the top side of waterfall and used a rope swing further down the trail, but no leeches. They really should look in to rebuilding a new draw bridge and maybe organizing a clean up day for the trails stream just past the waterfall and old brige. It has the potential of being like Bull Creek in the Austin Texas Green Belt....There are leeches in this waterfall!!!!!!!!!! But it's very pretty but not worth getting sucked on by leeches....
