**Access & Directions**
Located in Harris County off Garrett Road near the Beltway, this boat ramp provides access to Carpenters Bayou and Sheldon Lake. From the Beltway, turn onto Garrett Road, continue to Pineland Street, then head right approximately 1.5 miles to the ramp entrance on your left. The ramp features a crushed granite and concrete surface with modest grades (2-12.5% slope).
**Boating Conditions & Regulations**
All vessels launched here must operate at headway speed (idle/no-wake) while on the lake. The area is popular for fishing, with three T-piers available along the west and south levees year-round. This is a good access point for paddlers exploring the calm, sheltered waters of Sheldon Lake and the connected bayou system. Consider parking options carefully—some users prefer the Garrett Road dirt ramp over facilities closer to Highway 90.
**Nearby Alternatives**
If conditions don't suit your needs, additional launches are available at Whites Park (south of I-10 at Highway 61) for accessing upper Carpenters Bayou, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wallisville Project south of I-10 for those interested in river paddling.
