that is correct, creek is south of Britton Park and runs under FM 661. Yaks and tubes are great this time of year, I would not be near as excited about them when it gets warmer though, ALOT of water mocasins , snapping turtles , and gators back there!

believe me, they are there. I was seeing hogs, gators, coyotes, and bobcats in that bottom before the lake was even there! there was a 150 lb boar killed by a car just north of the bridge last fall!

a majority of all waters in Texas have gators. I have seen them at, to name a few local, Lewisville, Grapevine, Joe pool, Tawakoni, Lake Worth, Bridgeport.OH....and the city pond in Kennedale back in the 80's.

Gators will not mess with you in a yak. They're not croc's. If gators messed with kayakers, all of Florida would be off limits. As for snakes, you have a paddle in your lap to use on it.
