About This Access Site
Nick's Pit Stop is a privately operated, single-lane boat ramp providing year-round access to Lake Livingston on the Trinity River in Polk County. The facility operates on a fee basis and offers convenient amenities including live bait, fuel, and parking—making it a practical stop for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters looking to launch. The ramp is located just east of Trinity; from Huntsville, take US 190 across Lake Livingston Bridge to FM 356 west, then continue 3.5 miles.

If you're seeking free public access alternatives, Lake Livingston offers several free boat ramps maintained by the Trinity River Authority, including Blanchard, Patrick's Ferry, Whiterock, and Point Blank, as well as Tigerville Park near Livingston, which also provides restroom facilities and picnic areas. For paddlers exploring Lake Livingston itself, the calm reservoir waters offer good conditions for recreational canoeing and kayaking, though conditions vary by season and weather.
