Dottie Jordan Neighborhood Park serves as a whitewater take-out point on Little Walnut Creek in Austin, Texas. This is a small headwater creek with a moderate gradient of 9.3 feet per mile and an average flow of about 25 cubic feet per second. The creek descends 180 feet in elevation over its 19.42-mile length, making it suitable for paddlers seeking moving water experiences. As a take-out location, this site is designed for paddlers to exit the water after running sections of the creek upstream.
Little Walnut Creek is classified as a Stream/Creek (Order 3) draining approximately 21 square miles. With an average velocity of 1.04 feet per second and the noted gradient, paddlers can expect moderate current conditions typical of urban creek systems in the Austin area. The creek is situated in Travis County and flows toward larger river systems downstream. This take-out point provides access for kayakers and canoeists looking to complete runs on this local waterway.
