 Barton Creek, Texas   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Above the swimming pool at Zilker Park the creek is a whitewater kayaker (and sometimes canoe) run with Class I to III drops that is usually boatable only after a recent local rainstorm that swells the creek to flood stage.
Above the pool the creek offers a few miles of adventures when it flows, but that is also the times when it becomes dangerous, occasionally killing a paddler (usually a kayaker) who runs a drop, then gets pinned and is unable to recover.
The creek is a killer at very high flows, and a threat to great paddlers at moderately high flows, though it is runnable for those with the skills and experience to handle violent whitewater bordering on wildwater on a narrow, twisting creek.

Smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) was transplanted on the outside of the levee and a brush fence was built to protect it from incoming waves.
