The FM 1829 access point on the Leon River in Mound, Coryell County, offers a convenient launch location for paddlers and small boaters exploring this Central Texas waterway. This ramp is best suited for kayaks, canoes, and small flat-bottom boats (14 feet or smaller), as the shallow water conditions make it unsuitable for larger watercraft. The crossing at FM 1829 is located approximately 9 miles southeast of Gatesville.
**Important considerations:** Before launching, be aware that this access point features very shallow water conditions, which may affect launching ease depending on recent rainfall and seasonal water levels. Plan your trip accordingly and be prepared for potential obstacles. The Leon River in this region is characterized by a slower pace and pastoral setting, making it suitable for leisurely paddling trips. Always check current water conditions before your visit and ensure your watercraft is appropriate for shallow-water paddling.
