Description
While the full reach is listed as 6.25 miles, most whitewater boaters will be content to concentrate on just the last half-mile, where re-engineering of a series of dams in a cement-channelized river has created a fine Park-and-Play spot near downtown Fort Worth. For more information, see Texas Whitewater, 2nd Edition.
