Went back to the Brazos on Sunday. Here is the report and rating:
Brazos River - Ham Creek Park entry, up river 9.5 The only thing keeping it from being a 10, is that this part of the river is very popular with water skiers. I would prefer my kayaking without the 120 Watt rap music and power boats going by all the time. I spent 7 hours on the water (not paddling all the time) and made it to the sand bar before turning around. I was probably 1-2 miles from the Sand Island, which I would consider the ultimate goal. Great scenery and a very wide, easy to paddle river. Some beaches to stop and swim or have lunch - including the sand bar and Sand Island, if you make it to either of them.
