The FM 17 Bridge boat ramp provides access to the Lake Fork Creek arm of Lake Fork Reservoir near Alba, Wood County. This is a one-lane concrete ramp located at the north end of the Highway 17 Bridge on the west side of the creek. The facility includes gravel parking and is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats accessing this mid-lake section of the reservoir.
This access point is ideal for paddlers looking to explore the Lake Fork Creek arm, which offers a mix of open water and creek channels. The location provides convenient access for both day trips and longer explorations of the reservoir. Given its position on the creek arm, paddlers should be prepared for variable water conditions typical of reservoir environments. Check current water levels and conditions before launching, as reservoir levels can fluctuate seasonally.
