About This Access Site
Llano County Park offers a well-maintained public boat ramp on the southwest corner of Llano Estacado Lake, making it an excellent access point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The facility features a two-lane concrete ramp with wind protection—a valuable feature given the exposed nature of the Llano Estacado region. The ramp is free to use and open year-round.

The access site includes convenient amenities: parking for 17 vehicles, restrooms, a picnic area, and a designated campsite. These facilities make it suitable for half-day outings or extended trips. The lake itself is popular for fishing, offering opportunities to encounter largemouth bass, channel catfish, and common carp, so expect to share the water with anglers.

This location provides a stable, protected launching point for exploring Llano Estacado Lake's relatively calm waters. The southwest positioning offers some natural wind protection compared to other areas of the lake, making it a reliable choice for paddlers seeking manageable conditions.
