River Description
This spillway run can be wild! It starts out with a 3 foot drop, at least two 6 foot drops,
followed by a 17 foot waterfall, with a couple of slides/smaller drops mixed in, all within
100-150 yards. After that, you have a 2 mile paddle out on the South Prong of Waxahachie Creek to
Pigg Road.
To access this run please Email Me. I will
contact the landowner for you. This is how the landowner wants to handle access so he isnt
answering 50 calls everytime it rains. Please DO NOT park on the spillway road. Your vehicle WILL
be towed at your expense.
For more information, see Texas Whitewater 2nd Edition.
Put-in is approximately 531' elevation.
Take-out is approximately 457' elevation.
