FM 412 Access

FM 412 Access provides one of the few public boat launch points on the lower Nueces River in Uvalde County, offering direct access to this scenic waterway. Located near Montell Creek, this ramp serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore the lower Nueces River corridor. The access point is situated below the dam that separates freshwater and saltwater sections of the river, making it suitable for paddlers of varying skill levels interested in flatwater paddling.

This is a valuable resource for the area, as public access to the Nueces River is limited. Before launching, paddlers should check current water conditions and flow rates, as river levels can vary seasonally. The site's proximity to Montell Creek also offers potential for exploring tributaries. For those planning multi-day trips or longer paddles, it's advisable to contact local parks departments for information about camping facilities, parking availability, and any seasonal access restrictions.
