This boat ramp provides access to O.C. Fisher Lake on the North Concho River in San Angelo. The 5,440-acre reservoir, completed in 1952 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, offers a scenic paddling destination with a maximum depth of 58 feet and typical water level fluctuations of 6-8 feet. The ramp is conveniently located on the west side of San Angelo, making it an accessible starting point for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters exploring the North Concho system.
The North Concho River flows through rolling hills and semi-arid ranch and farm land, characterized by a sandy, gravel, and mud substrate with some bedrock areas. Water-tolerant hardwoods, conifers, and grasses line the banks, creating a scenic natural corridor. Paddlers should note that water releases from O.C. Fisher Dam flow downstream under 29th Street, where the North Concho eventually meets the South Concho to form the main Concho River.
**Important:** Texas law requires all boats to drain water from onboard receptacles when leaving public fresh waters to help prevent the spread of invasive zebra mussels. Fishing regulations include a daily bag limit of 5 fish (all species combined), with black bass requiring a minimum length of 14 inches. Twin Buttes Reservoir is located approximately 6 miles south for additional recreation opportunities.
