BORES

Access PointClass III30.37070, -97.78500

Description

Short for 'Big One, RElatively Speaking', BORES is the only Class III rapid on Bull Creek.  Access is available for park 'n' huck via a public parking lot off of Lakewood Dr. near 360.

BORES is created by a V-shaped limestone ledge.  At high flows, water flows over both sides of the V and creates a large plume in the notch.  Texas Whitewater describes an undercut at river right that 'looks nastier than it is.  Unless a tree is wedged in it, bodies and boats generally wash through.'  There is a sneak line at river left.

There is 1/8 mile of flat water below the rapid, so a failed roll or a swim here is probably not going to be consequential.
