Cedar Ridge Park offers a well-maintained two-lane boat ramp providing convenient access to Belton Lake near Temple. The facility includes a courtesy dock, parking for vehicles with trailers, and a restroom. The park operates year-round from 6 AM to 10 PM daily. Day-use fees are paid via QR code in the parking area—visitors must physically arrive on-site to claim a space and pay. This is a good launching point for kayakers and canoeists exploring Belton Lake, a scenic impoundment with calm water suitable for recreational paddling.
Beyond the boat ramp itself, Cedar Ridge Park Campground offers additional amenities including a swim beach, fishing dock, and full camping facilities (RV and tent sites with water and electricity). The surrounding area has historical interest, with the Charter Oak on the Leon River and nearby attractions in Belton and Salado worth exploring. Whether you're launching for a day paddle or planning an overnight trip, this is a reliable, full-service access point on Belton Lake.
