This was very helpful. Just got my son a fishing kayak for his birthday. Gonna head here tomorrow.

[@KayakCliff]

Thanks for watching and commenting Regular Guy! Have fun with your son out there, that’s what it’s all about!!!

[@regularguy3202]

@@KayakCliff Yes sir. Thank you for the address to the gate and ramp. We went and fished at the 377 bridge a couple of days ago. Your info on the mileage was also nice to know. Looks like it will be good camping creek side. Thanks again!

[@Angel-hj7gy]

Awesome content man, keep it up 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@KayakCliff]

Thank You!

[@seriousmanner787]

Cheers for this! Helps me immensely as a beginner with the maps and showing where to unload and stuff.

[@KayakCliff]

That’s great to hear, thank you for the comments! Safe adventuring and have a great week!

Wm S Thank You so much! Safe paddling out there!

[@rockyesan7029]

wow nice place for kayak but I can't go to that far

[@TheAdventureCuisine]

Great video! Have you ever paddled the east side of Denton Creek? (Grapevine Dam to Carrollton Dam)

[@KayakCliff]

No, I have not. Have you paddled it? It looks like it gets pretty congested in certain places with lots of trees that have fallen over. I have often thought about what it would be like….🤔

[@TheAdventureCuisine]

@@KayakCliff Yes, it is certainly congested. I have not paddled it either, but interested in doing so. There is a low head dam located at the HWY 121 interchange which would be dangerous especially at different flow levels.

[@markbarron5354]

Great video and thanks for posting. A point of clarification.....Grapevine Lake is just over 7,000 surface acres. Lake Lewisville is about 28,000 surface acres.

[@KayakCliff]

Thank you Mark for the clarification! Unfortunately I am not able to change the video at this point. Hope to see you out on the water sometime, safe paddling!

[@Boboedeloem]

Wonderful video. I prefer river to lake paddling and never knew such a great place on the north end of Lake Grapevine. Keep the videos coming, please!

[@KayakCliff]

Thanks for the comments! Yes, when you look at all of our great lakes around here, just look for the feeder creeks that feed into each lake. Most of the creeks are great for kayaking up and down. On the map apps on your phone - just kind a look for those creeks and any parks or launch areas from satellite images that look like good launching points. You’ll be amazed at all the places you’re find! Next creek that I try will be from the Fort Worth nature Center to the damn at Eagle Mountain Lake. I hear that’s a great Creek/river to battle. About 10 miles round-trip.

[@Boboedeloem]

Eager to hear your opinion of Ft Worth Nature Center. I have heard good things about it, but have not yet ventured there. I have heard of gator sightings there!

[@MonkeyNAround]

I like the map overlays on the video. Good information.

[@KayakCliff]

Monkey N Around - Thank You for your comment! Are you in the DFW area? I’m in Flower Mound, just north of Dallas

[@looney3574]

Me and my friend will be going the same route this weekend to catch some fish!!!! Great video sir!!!

[@KayakCliff]

Thank you Dave for the kind comments! Have fun up there this weekend! The water is up, so you should have a lot of places to explore!

[@Joshua-hs6sf]

Awesome videos! This one inspired me to do the Hwy 377 trip today. It was very enjoyable.

[@KayakCliff]

Josh Seymour Thank You Josh! I’ll have some more North Texas trail videos coming soon. Safe paddling!

[@spicyandsporty]

Great video! Fellow denton county resident. Appreciate the advice.

[@chickfla7229]

Thanks for the informative and entertaining video. I will be heading there some time soon now.

[@KayakCliff]

chick fla - Your welcome! more TEXAS videos are coming. Thanks for subscribing and safe paddling out there!

[@chasem9949]

Good videos. I like the Dfw area videos. Looking to Kayak and fish.

[@KayakCliff]

Chase M - Thanks Chase! I have more coming, safe paddling out there!!

[@bliztix2]

Awesome video. I live off of Oliver Creek, which runs into Denton creek.

[@gabegm]

Nice video! I am purchasing my first kayak for kayaking in the Austin, San Marcos Tx area. I have been told that a 12' would be better than a smaller vessel. Looking to trail through similar creeks and rivers like the one you have posted here, with a few rapids here and there. What size kayak do you have and what length do you recommend?

[@KayakCliff]

Gabe GM Hi Gabe - Generally, the longer and narrower the kayak - the more efficient it is for paddling. If the kayak is longer than 12’ , it can be more difficult to turn, but this is contingent on the hull design. Generally, 12 feet is a good do everything kayak. Since you are down in the Austin area. I would highly recommend stopping by Austin Canoe And Kayak - ACK.com. These people are very knowledgeable and can guide you in the selection of the best kayak for you. You can also try out kayaks at a local watering hole on certain days that they do this. Good luck and safe paddling!

[@gabegm]

@@KayakCliff Great, thanks for the info!!!

[@Docholiday1102]

Thanks for the detailed video Cliff! Picked up kayaking this summer as well and have already done quite a few local paddles. So far we've done The Brazos, Lake Lewisville, The Greenbelt Corridor and Caddo Lake. I believe this weekend we're going to try Denton Creek and next weekend we're going to conquer the Cross Timbers Trails up on Lake Texhoma. As an experienced North Texas Kayaker, are there any other spots you highly recommend within a reasonable drive? (Next summer we plan to do Frio and Big Bend).

[@KayakCliff]

Hey Brett - I too would like to start exploring many of the Texas rivers (Frio, Llano, Devils, Brazos, Colorado etc). As far as North Texas is concerned, try out Lake Whitney - I will be releasing a video on that awesome lake later this week! Lot’s of lakes in North Texas!

[@TBassFactory]

Nice video, that I some awesome looking water. I just subscribed. Hope that my channel has as good of vids as you have here. Keep the videos coming 🙋‍♂️👍👍

[@KayakCliff]

TBassFactory - Thank you so much for the feedback! I have many more videos shot, just need to get edited. More coming. Paddle Safe and More!

[@2dthoughts]

Great video I live east of the metroplex. closest water is Hubbard Been wanting to try grapevine Have you been to any places that would make a good over night/stealth camping paddle in the area? About to sub and check to see if my question is possibly answered in another video

[@drburden54]

What if you have a Kayak that you peddle, can they be part of your story as well?

[@KayakCliff]

Lol. Yes, as long as there are paddles (props) connected to your peddles!

[@2dthoughts]

Sorry, but hope paddling doesn’t catch on. I love ❤️ the days I have where I paddle for 8-12 hours and don’t see another boat 🚣‍♂️ Imagine if everyone knew how fun it is. There’d be traffic jams on the creeks 🚣🏻 🚣‍♀️ 🚣‍♂️🚣🏻🚣‍♀️🚣‍♂️🚣🏻🚣‍♂️🚣🏻🚣‍♀️🚣🏻🚣🏻🚣‍♂️🚣🏻🚣‍♂️🚣🏻🚣🏻 Lol 😂
