This boat ramp provides public access to the Frio River in McMullen County near the Highway 99 bridge crossing. The site serves as a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small boats exploring this section of the Frio River, which flows generally southeast through South Texas toward the Nueces River. The access point is located in a relatively rural area, making it a quieter alternative to more developed recreation areas upstream.
The Frio River in this region offers opportunities for paddling and fishing for sand bass. Water conditions and flow rates can vary seasonally, so paddlers should check current conditions before heading out. This section of the river sits north of the Choke Canyon Reservoir, which is part of the Nueces River Project. For paddlers seeking more developed amenities and scenic Hill Country terrain, Garner State Park upstream offers additional access points with facilities and recreational options like tubing and hiking trails.
