Absolutely disgusting. You couldn't pay me to do that. Who knows what radioactive elements are in the water, or what trash and items have accumulated on the river bottom.

My wife says the same thing, yet she has a house on Cedar Creek Lake. Mind boggling.

Actually the Trinity River water quality for swimming is pretty good...same as Lake Benfbrook. It's the sediment that is problematical. Just don't eat the catfish (bottom feeders).

Why does your wife have a house?

This guy finds a dip in the Trinity invigorating

The trinity is fine in Fort Worth and no different than tubing in rivers in the Hill Country as far as water quality--now white rock creek/lake in Dallas is very dangerous

Also the Brazos, in Waco and downriver from there. Deplorable.

She wanted one and I didn’t want have anything to do with it. So wooolah it’s hers.

Trinity is fine.

I'm all for it as I am for most things that increase the need for prescription pharmaceutical solutions. Tube away.....

Trinity is fine. It is clean. However, if floating on a tube at Panther Island during a concert. The water might get a little tainted from recycled alcohol.

If you can survive getting thrown in that chess pool of a pond by the intramural fields, the Trinity is probably safe...

Man lands on moon!
Seriously, they've been doing it for several years. This is nothing new. Having been in about 3 years but had a blast every time.

You can never figure out what Wes is going to censor and replace with goofy words!?!
















You just can’t tell what Wes’ censors are going to prohibit?!?

I used to bike to work downtown and would go through Panther Pavilion daily. On separate occasions I observed the police pulling out a dead body, and several 5+ foot water moccasins. Not swimming in there....

Well then don’t go to any lake in the Texas as people do drown frequently and there are snakes, gators and other wildlife in any body of water in Texas.

Don't worry....don't swim in any of those either.

80% of the Trinity south of Dallas is recycled water. True story.
