Located in Temple off Highway 36, the Central Texas Sportsman Club offers boat ramp access to the Leon River channel on the upper end of Belton Lake. **Note that membership is required** to use this facility and its amenities, including the boat ramp and fishing pier. The ramp provides convenient access for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore the scenic forested shoreline and historical areas around the lake, including views of the historic Charter Oak on the Leon River near Belton.
The site sits on the western shore of Belton Lake in the Leon River channel, making it well-suited for paddlers interested in exploring the upper lake waters. From Temple, take Highway 36 northwest and watch for signs. Nearby recreation options include access to historical landmarks like the Stage Coach Inn in Salado and recreational opportunities at sister facility Stillhouse Hollow Lake. For paddlers without membership, alternative public ramps are available at White Flint Park and Leona Park, both located near the Highway 36 bridge upstream.
