The Slide

Concrete buttresses on either side of the creek mark the location of the former 14-foot dam described in 'Texas Whitewater'.  The dam was destroyed during the Memorial Day 2015 floods, and the remnants of it were apparently removed from the creek bed in the 2015-2016 timeframe.  However, the slide (which is more like hundreds of yards long-- not the 100-foot-long feature that 'Texas Whitewater' describes) is still there, and it's the highlight of the run.  At 500 cfs or less, it is boney.  At 500-1000 cfs, paddlers describe it as being reminiscent of Gonzo Shoals on the Ocoee, but with more gradient.
