This lake is so wonderful. After a long day outdoors Best Western Velkommen is a brilliant location to spend a night or two, and there's some attention-grabbing stuff to catch a sight of at Olsen Lake Dam near Olsen Lake. Any time is a fine time at Olsen Lake if you have a thing about the outdoors. Why not take a refreshing hike along the Meridian State Park Trail; whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Childress Creek.

Speegleville Road is not a good takeout point. A better trip would start from the low water crossing at Shiloh Baptist Church about 1 mi north of Hwy 185. Go all the way down to Lake Waco, cross the lake NE for 1 mi and take out at the City of Woodway Park at the end of Estates Dr. Total River distance is 12 miles. Water has to be 100-200cfs or better to be navigable upstream of the private road bridge on McLennan Crossing Rd which is 3.5 miles up from the mouth of Hog Creek at Lake Waco. Springtime fishing is good for white bass, largemouth bass, and crappie from McLennan Crossing Bridge to Lake Waco along Hog Creek....
