Caney Creek

Caney Creek GPS Points & Paddle Distances

The “Caney Creek” caches are broke into two groups. 

The “North” caches, denoted by cache names CC XN, are from the kayak launch on FM1485 to the merger with Peach Creek at Lake Houston Wilderness Park (LHWP).  The launch at 1485 is easily accessible by a vehicle with decent clearance however we do not recommend a car as the ground can be a little bumpy leading to high centering.  Launching can be a little tricky as the bank is steep and typically not mowed.  The takeout at LHWP on Peach Creek is a ~ 75 yard carry up a sand hill and can be accessed in any type of vehicle.

*Note 1 – To take out at LHWP you have to paddle ~ 0.2 miles up Peach Creek from the Peach / Caney Creek merger to the kayak launch.
