This public boat ramp on Hubert M. Moss Lake is located approximately 10 miles northwest of Gainesville on FM 1201 and provides convenient access to this 21-foot average depth reservoir. The lake reaches a maximum depth of 70 feet near the dam, offering varied paddling and boating conditions. The City of Gainesville maintains this public-use area as one of two boat ramps on the lake, making it a reliable access point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters.
Paddlers should be aware of several features when exploring South Fish Creek and the lake. The upper portions of both creek arms contain standing timber and abundant submerged aquatic vegetation, which can affect navigation and may require careful maneuvering. Additionally, there are submerged creek channels, humps, and a standing bridge to watch for. These natural and structural elements add character to the paddling experience but require attention to water conditions and awareness of potential obstacles.
