Hog Creek Wildlife Management Area in Woodway provides a popular access point to the Middle Bosque River for kayakers, canoeists, and rafters. This day-use facility features a boat ramp with direct river access, making it convenient for launching non-motorized watercraft. The site is particularly popular for floating trips, and it serves as a common starting point for paddlers planning multi-day or shuttle trips downstream to takeout points like Argo/Grave Creek or Ennis.
The facility offers basic amenities including a vault toilet, though there is no water or power available on-site. Paddlers should come prepared with their own supplies and plan accordingly. Hog Creek is well-suited for recreational floating in rafts and inflatable kayaks, as well as fishing opportunities. The location provides good access to explore the river corridor in this section of Central Texas.
For detailed trip planning and shuttle services, check with local outfitters who regularly service this area. The nearby Waco Lake and Waco Mammoth National Monument offer additional recreational opportunities in the region if you're planning an extended visit.
