Katie's Woods Park offers convenient access to Grapevine Lake via a well-maintained facility on the south side of the lake near Grapevine, TX. The park features both a standard boat ramp and a high-water ramp to accommodate varying lake levels, making it a reliable launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The ramp is situated in a protective cove, which provides good shelter on windy days—a helpful feature for paddlers planning their trips.
**Practical Details:** Ample parking is available, though this is a heavily used ramp that can fill up early on busy days, particularly weekends. Day-use park entry is free, but boat launch fees apply ($10 per launch, with holiday surcharges). The facility accepts credit and debit cards only. To reach Katie's Woods, take Northwest Highway in Grapevine north on Dove Road to Dove Loop, then continue to Oak Grove Park where the ramp is located.
Grapevine Lake sits centrally in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and offers excellent paddling opportunities with access to nearby Lewisville Lake just north. This makes Katie's Woods an ideal base for exploring either lake system.
