River Description

Spillway run that can be wild. This run starts out with a 3 foot drop then at least 2-6 foot drops followed by a 17 foot waterfall with a couple of slides/smaller drops mixed in all within 100-150 yards. Then 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.
