The FM 1001 access point provides a public boat launch on the Paluxy River near Glen Rose in Somervell County. This location serves as a convenient put-in or take-out for paddlers exploring this scenic Central Texas waterway. The ramp accommodates kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats, making it suitable for various water recreation activities.
The Paluxy River in this area is generally a gentle, meandering stream ideal for recreational paddling and family outings. Paddlers should expect moderate current conditions typical of this region, along with sandy banks and limestone bluffs characteristic of the Glen Rose area. Before launching, check current water conditions and flow rates, as water levels can vary seasonally. The proximity to Glen Rose makes this an accessible starting point for day trips or multi-day paddling adventures on the Paluxy.
