want to suggest an update to the national river database --> texas --> denton creek.

directions are pretty good, but the two gates referenced both have 'get lost' signs on them.
i phoned the controlling authority, u.s. army corps of engineers,,, and learned of an m.o.u. (memorandum of understanding) between aw (i assume) and the corps.

as coming up w/ this beta took a little digging on my part (at the cost of a paddling day), i would suggest posting a note to this effect on the site.
not many places to paddle here, so i hate to see someone inadvertently dissuaded (is that a word?).

let the rivers flow,

This is just about the perfect level 700cfs on the spillway gauge

1220cfs on the spillway gauge.

After parking follow the yellow line to the wave. You will pass 2 gates and some NO TRESPASSING signs as of 1-12-05 you can walk past both gates but DO NOT drive down there even if the gates are open. Many thanks to Rusty Branch for the photo!
This is about as good as it gets.
Phil surfs it up.

great level!
