About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** This boat ramp is located at Lake Whitney State Park (Lofers Bend Day Use Park area) in Hill County, Texas, approximately 2 miles from the town of Whitney. Take FM 933 north and turn left on FM 1713 Spur to reach the end of the road where the park is located.

**Facilities & Usage:** The site features a 2-lane boat ramp open year-round with day-use fees charged April through September. Additional amenities include picnic areas, restrooms, swim beaches, and a playground, making it suitable for a full day of recreation. Note that Lake Whitney no longer accepts cash payments at USACE-operated facilities.

**Paddling Opportunities:** Paddlers launching here can explore Lake Whitney's 43,300+ acres or venture downstream on the Brazos River. Below the dam, there's a 43.3-mile flatwater run to State Highway 6 in Waco with at least a dozen additional access points, allowing trips of varying lengths. The river section is all flatwater with no major hazards, though boaters should remain alert for airboat traffic. For more information, contact the Lake Whitney office at (254) 622-3332 or Texas Parks & Wildlife at (254) 694-3793.
