     This is a popular place for people from Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood, and nearby Ogletree Gap is a good spot to go. If you adore the outdoors, you'll love Minjou Lake. Drift down the rapids of Bee House Creek in a kayak; Blue Watch Lake is a splendid lake nearby. This lake is so wonderful. Dry warm beds await you at Comfort Suites Copperas Cove, and paddling on Rocky Creek is so much fun. After a long day outdoors Super 8 Copperas Cove is a wonderful spot to spend  
   a night or two, and lakes are such calm locations, why not pop by Copperas Cove Lake Number 3.

Rocky Creek
Hi Land Owner,
On the offhand chance you may be back to read this, Kayakers are some of the most respectful people in the world. Why would you want to send someone to jail for simply passing thru a navigable stream that runs thru your land? I don't get it. You know, if it's that much of an issue, you could charge people entry or just insist they check in with you first. Most people aren't looking for trouble....
This stretch and all others of rocky creek are private. If I see you on the creek you will at the very least go to jail for trespassing....

My family (wife and 3 sons) just kayaked the Lampasas from Stillhouse Hollow to I-35 on 10/25/09.  The release from Stillhouse Hollow dam is 1560 cfs.  This means the river is about 4 ft high and very swift current.  Have to watch for sweepers and strainers.  Stay in the middle of the river.  No white water, just current.  Put in at Chalk Ridge Falls park and take out at I-35 bridge.  The takeout is a little tough, but doable.  My wife fell out when her kayak hit a log and it took us about 500 yards to recover her boat and get her back in it.  Water is very cold. Need air temp to be 75 plus to be safe here.  Would be better with release at 500-1000 cfs....
