Nolan River Park (also known as Ham Creek Park) is a day-use access point on Lake Whitney near Kopperl in Hill County. The facility features a 2-lane boat ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The ramp is open year-round, though day-use fees apply during the April-September season. This is a Corps of Engineers recreation area, so amenities and conditions may vary seasonally.
Located on the Brazos River downstream section that feeds into Lake Whitney, this access point works well for paddlers looking to explore the lake's calmer waters and protected areas. The day-use format (no overnight camping) makes it ideal for half-day or full-day trips. Before visiting, confirm current conditions and fee status with the facility, as Corps parks occasionally close for maintenance or weather. The ramp's 2-lane capacity can handle moderate traffic, but arriving early on weekends is recommended during peak season.
