If they sold Smirnoff coolers, I'd give it the 5th star and I might never come home. We weren't familiar with this side of the lake when we bought a boat from the owner of Walnut Creek. We'd only really been to Highport and Soldier's Creek and usually frequented Highport. We arranged a month to stay at Walnut Creek to get to know the area and see how we like it. We really, really like it and have decided to stay. This is not a big marina and it doesn't have a lot of amenities but the things you need they do really well. In order of importance to us: 1. The owner and the owner's family are great, straight forward folks. There is just something about Dale (the owner) and his son-in-law that inspires trust and Dale is a pleasant, hands on owner that comes by and says hello and checks on his slip renters to make sure everything is okay and that they are happy. He is not out just to make a buck, which is really refreshing. He has stuff he can sell you if you are in the market for it but he is not going to sell you something you didn't need or want. 2. There is a mechanic close by, Murry? Murray? who was also part owner of our boat when we bought it. He's been great. We developed a problem when we got down to old gas still in the boat and we thought that we would have to have the whole system drained and he said, no, we just needed a fuel separater. He came down and installed it for us at no cost. He doesn't work on jet skis, which is a bummer, but he's great to have around for the boat. People tell me that he regularly helps out folks with things like the separator because he wants people to remember him when it comes time to get a bottom job on their boat. Works for me. 3. The crowd is mostly grown ups. There are some kids that play loud music but you get that everywhere, and a lot more in some places. Dale is good about shutting it down if it goes on to too late into the night. We love the people in our boathouse. They are around our age (40 's) and have grown or almost grown families. Several live close by and most of us are down at the boathouse pretty much every weekend. 4. Location on the lake - This marina is not too far from the islands and doesn't have that chop that you get in the channel in front of Highport. There is one other marina that we looked at very seriously that is closer to the islands and has very deep water. Walnut Creek is not far though and its practically in its own little bay so the water is much calmer than the rest of the lake. From the open water, you can't really see Walnut Creek ... the shoreline has an illusory effect of being continuous when, in reality, there is a bay there ... so, even with the gas docks, there is not a lot of raucous lake traffic coming in. 5. Bathrooms - the bathroom located at the marina store is the cleanest public bathroom I've ever seen. You have to get a key from the store to use it so it is only available from around 6 AM to about 5 PM. The bathroom is a big deal to me when staying on the boat over the weekend. That may be a girl thing, but it is really, really big in my book. 6. Showers - I think the showers are an on-demand system. They are always warm immediately (that's a good thing). It costs 4 quarters for 4 minutes and that is plenty for a man. It would be perfect for me to if I didn't shave my legs. Still, I am happy with the showers. I don't like the toilets in the camp restrooms though - no lids and the sink is difficult to use and runs non-potable water. I avoid the sink in there for brushing my teeth. The light is on a timer so it can seem dark in there in the daytime because the light isn't on. 7. Wi-fi - They have good wi-fi. It's $6 something for 24 hours but the speed puts our home connection to shame. Lightning fast. 8. Distance from metroplex - It takes us an hour and twenty minutes to get the Walnut Creek from McKinney (75 to 82 to 901). This is pretty much the same time it took us to get Pottsboro and the drive is very pretty. This is a good, basic marina. They have cute cabins and a nice campground area where campers can pull their boat up to the shore (and because of the calm water, no waves to rock the boat up against it). They have a decent boat ramp that can handle two launches at a time but there's rarely any kind of a back up ($4 to launch). There is no restaurant but then we have a grill and a boat. Plenty of other marinas have restaurants and courtesy docks so we can either grill out or boat out to one of the restaurants on the lake. I wish that they had a courtesy dock for visiting boat friends but then we'll probably be meeting out on the islands anyway.

Didn't test the showers, but if the men's room is any clue, they're probably cleaner and roomier than my first apartment. The Mexican joint on site? Their breakfast burrito didn't taste like it came from under a heat lamp -- which in truck stop terms makes it practically gourmet. Parking is all pull-thru (thank you!), but here's the quirk: the spots lean left and forward, so depending on how you like to sleep, it's either "slight incline" or "truck cab ski slope." Your chiropractor will love the variety. Pro tip: watch out for construction debris at night -- nothing like playing "guess the pothole" in a 70-foot rig. Bottom line: clean, fresh, and actually built with drivers in mind. Truckers Paradise might still be under construction, but it's already miles ahead of the dusty "classics" people keep romanticizing. I'll happily roll through here again.

Then as you pull away you realize they're telling someone on a radio your truck details. Also they mentioned this place has laundry machines. This is not true. The convenience store is lackluster. They got the basics covered and some random expired products. Showers are a trip, man. 12 bucks for a basic shower? Okay. Then you get there and an attendant escorts you to your shower. You get escorted into a large room, the walls do not reach the ceiling, the room is lined with urinals and toilets without a partition. The entire floor is wet. You get escorted to a hallway where the showers are. Oh thank god it's not a communal shower. You get into the private shower room. It's about the size of a closet. No sink or toilet. No counter. The walls here also do not go up to the ceiling. You can hear everyone around you and the lobby where the attendant is. I was kinda paranoid like man are they recording us for a website or something? Is this a prank show? Oh yeah and the showers don't drain. As you leave you'll see some guy walking up with a mop bucket. Creepiest experience I've had yet grabbing a shower at a truck stop, which is quite a feat. Maybe next time the parking lot attendant will give you a coupon for the shower attendant to wash your back for you.

Thank God we weren't staying there. Like Joseph B., I came to hike. I mistakenly assumed this whole area is flat, and that's what I told the 9 other people in my party. I should have looked at a few more links because almost immediately there were short but steep hills - about 10 in succession just for the first 5 miles. And that's about as far as we got before we turned back. We were exhausted, but it was worth it. Even the three marathon runners in our group said it was a good workout. Start at the W. Juniper Point trailhead, not Cedar Bayou Marina, or you will miss some of the better lake views from the trail. You can follow the trail markers to Lost Loop or cut through the Marina and continue on the Loop on the west side of the Marina. Start early because it gets pretty hot mid-day in March.
