Google maps are your friend. I spend a lot of time searching for parking and creek access.
Google maps, and google earth most of the photos and details are 5 years old, or more. And they don't tell if a road is gated, or blocked off. That's why I'm asking here, to hear from people that have been there recently.
Kdub nailed it. You can tell everything you need to know about a creek and its access from google. Google maps to see the whole area and then street view to see if there are signs or fences. Got to get out there and look
Look up schooling Road at Denton Creek on Google maps. THERE IS NO GATE BLOCKING the road, in the imagery. That's because the picture is 6 years old. There is a gate there now, I had somebody i know that lives there go look for me.
Jesus, you'd think people were asking for your honey hole. I just wanted to know if anyone had been there and if you could access the road. Which, now I know you can't.
Look up lake Benbrook on Google Earth, you think that's a recent picture with the water 200 or 300 foot from the marina?
I get wanting to "protect your spot, or thinking you have some knowledge no one else needs to know, but C'mon, someone asks if a road is accessible, and even explains that the satellite imagery is old and outdated, and you still wanna stiff them? Glad I'm not a fishing snob. I'll gladly share any information I know of.
But, that's ok, I'll be sure to remember that if someone asks if a certain boat ramp is open. I'll just tell them to check Google maps
