Used needles and trash everywhere not a place to take kids. Crappy humans ruined this fishing spot.

I give this 4 stars overall simply for the lovely paddle. Lots of birds, heard an owl, the creek is shaded nearly the whole way North. Got out and found fossils, Buffalo teeth, turtle shell, cool rocks. Great place to kayak, but tons of trash. If you think of all of the bags and clothes in the trees swaying in the breeze, one of our group said they were like prayer flags. Could really benefit from a cleanup. Put in was easy, could benefit from having more trash cans.

Cool little area to fish especially for sand bass run. The creek goes away just map it and go from there. Be safe and watch for snakes. You never know!

Our Family kayaking Rowlett Creek river adventure was fun, as always. We enjoy greeting the groups of fishermen, the natural flora, observing the animals and fish occasionally jumping out and splashing at the waters surface. We laugh and sing at times, yet also enjoy the peaceful symphony of nature. The creek/river needs a bit of rubbish removal though, moreso on the north of Miller than south side. Interestingly enough though, either dragonflies lead our party or the crane. The crane will stop every 200 ft or so and wait for us, then fly ahead and wait again, as if escorting us safely to the lake or back to the Miller bridge, unharmed from potential danger from copperheads and black wasps. Thanks Crane! We named the crane Stuart (as in steward). Good on ya mate!

Not a great put-in. Would hope the city would consider developing a canoe/kayak put-in. Once on the water, its a nice flatwater paddle. Paddled up to Firewheel Pkwy and back. Sad to see the amount of trash like others have commented.

I really wish people picked up their trash and used the trash cans in the parking lot. There was trash, fishing line, hooks ect. Along the whole trail. We picked a spot and cleaned up the area we were in before we set up stuff the fish and we filled a whole trash bag and a half just from that small area. Its really sad.

The river was beautiful and smooth. It was easy for my inexperienced paddlers to navigate and gave them plenty to see along the way. It was a pretty muddy trek to get the boats down to the water. I wish there was an established put-in.

It s a good place for bank fishing. Albeit a bit dirty and not well maintained. There s no bathrooms and very limited trash cans. I m sure it could be a great location if it was better maintained.

Trashed out, but quiet and you cant hear the roads when you hike out to the back of the trail. Giving a 3 star because there isnt much in the area and its nice to have somewhere to get outside, but it definitely needs a major clean up from all the trash everywhere.

This can be a nice place but theres so much trash in the area. We picked up a lot of trash but its the people that make it good. Otherwise, its a good place to go fishing. You can be under the bridge or under the cover of the trees. Theres about 15 parking spots and there are no restrooms. Easily accessible on the east bound lane of Miller Rd. There is a dedicated left turn lane on the west bound lane of Miller. There is also a sign that reads Woodlands Basin Nature Preserve.
