Description

"Texas Whitewater" suggested parking at the San Francisco Steakhouse (which is now a Chinese buffet, as of this writing) on the downstream river left side of the bridges and putting in at the print shop (which is now a Lumber Liquidators, as of this writing.)  However, parking and putting in on private property without permission is never recommended, especially given the political realities of urban whitewater boating in modern-day Austin.

Boaters wishing to put in at I-35 can park along Hermitage Drive next to the vacant lots (the lots are at the corner of Hermitage and the frontage road), or they can park along Park Plaza Drive north of the creek and portage up to the put-in.  Many choose to put in at North Acres Neighborhood Park less than 1/2 mile downstream, as this cuts out only one rapid.
