The launch area into the Lampasas River at Ding Dong is a very difficult launch if one does it by himself. It can be done but takes a bit of strength to get the kayak back up the bank and to your vehicle. Paddle upstream from the launch point to various pools under small rapids.

Lampasas at Ding Dong
This portion of the Lampasas river provides a beautiful day paddle provided that you have no problem portaging through various low water level areas. There are many good pools throughout the river that our easily accessible with some light walking. Species that can be caught here that should be highlighted would include the Guadalupe Bass.
Be cautious for Alligators.
