Salado Creek
 | 15 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.... |

San Gabriel River - North Fork
| 18 miles away Just made this trip this weekend (9/9/07) and the water is really high and running fast! Lots of trees to navigate and a shorter yak would have been nice (had Tarpon 120's). My wife and I are both 'new' to kayaking and this was just our 3rd trip and was almost more than we bargained for. You could not get all the way to the bottom of the dam to start and had to enter a little farther down. I think it is just more technical right now with the river so high and fast. A lot of tight turns and very small openings through the trees. One thing not mentioned anywhere here is the 8ft dam drop you have to portage. Beware of that one! Also, maybe 4 other places where the water was over some walkways that created 1-3 foot drops. You can run those or pretty easy to get around them. Enjoy carefully!... |
Chalk Ridge Falls Park Trail
 | 18 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.... |
