Description

Known to have been run, per Texas Whitewater. Beta from the book is inaccurate (it lists the put-in as "Spring Branch Road", which doesn't appear to exist, and the status of other put-ins, such as Loeffler Road, is unknown.) The book describes numerous barbed wire fences across the creek. Likely landowner issues, but this is unknown. Difficulty rating, recommended flow, distances, and gradient are taken from the book.
