We kayaked down rice creek from County Rd J to Old Highway 8, which goes through Rice Creek Park. It was amazing!

The entire creek, or water trail as it's called, is pretty long and goes through several lakes. The portion we went down was about 4.5 glorious miles. The water is pretty shallow throughout and the only rough water is just right after you go under a couple of bridges. If you have access to any paddle powered water craft, go check it out now!
