    Hammock Camping Brazos River Below Possum Kingdom

    Hello all,
    I was planning on going on my first kayaking trip with a buddy of mine on the Brazos river below Possum Kingdom Lake dam between Hwy 4 and Hwy 16 on memorial day weekend. I was able to find some trip reports on other sites but the problem was that all of the reports were from ground dwellers! I was wondering if anyone here has done a similar trip around there that could tell me that there are good places to hang a hammock? And if anyone has some fishing tips for that river and if anyone had any river oriented gear recommendations that would be great and much appreciated! Thank you in advance!

    there are numerous places, between PK(hwy 16 bridge) & Dark Valley(hwy 4 bridge), to camp/hang

    your only issue is to remain below the HIGH WATER line & above the river level when they are GENERATING @ PK dam

    NEVER cross a fence

    i might guess you already know about ROCHELLE'S but if you don't

    http://rochellescanoerental.com

    you can park there & they will shuttle you & your gear to the hwy 16 bridge for a reasonable fee

    if you don't already have one, get the book RIVERS & RAPIDS, by Bob Narramore

    the book used to be called TEXAS RIVERS & RAPIDS but they have added OKLAHOMA & ARKANSAS and dropped the TEXAS from the title(i may be revealing my age here)

    the information in this book is immeasurable

    you can likely pick up the book @ Bob's shop, HIGH TRAILS CANOE/KAYAK in Garland

    i am hearing about some great catfish fishing on that part of the Brazos lately

    ENJOY
