About This Access Site
The FM 1081 Bridge boat ramp provides access to the White River, a major waterway with significant flow and current. Located 3 miles east of Trinity on Texas 94, the ramp is positioned on the right side of the bridge and features in-and-out access beneath the railroad tracks. This site serves primarily as a takeout point for paddlers floating downstream from areas like Delta and Escalante Canyon. A restroom is available on-site.

The White River is a substantial river with an average flow of approximately 34,800 cubic feet per second and an average velocity of 5.76 feet per second, so paddlers should be prepared for moderate to strong current conditions. With a typical gradient of 3.5 feet per mile, expect moving water suitable for intermediate to experienced paddlers. **Note:** This region experiences drought conditions periodically, which can affect water levels and ramp usability. Contact local parks departments before your trip to confirm current ramp conditions. The surrounding area offers picnic tables, camping and RV facilities with amenities, a fishing house, and a cleaning station.
