About This Access Site
Reynolds Creek Park offers a boat ramp and dock facility on the west shore of Lake Waco's North Bosque River arm, making it a convenient launch point for paddlers and boaters. The park is located on the scenic north-western shore of the lake and provides access to one of Texas's largest urban lakes. The facility supports fishing for catfish, crappie, largemouth bass, and sunfish, and the area is known for its wildlife viewing opportunities, including over 130 bird species in the nearby Lake Waco Wetlands.

To reach the park from I-35, take exit 330B heading north on Highway 6 toward Meridian for approximately 7 miles. After crossing the Twin Bridges, take the Speegleville Road exit, turn right, and continue 1 mile to the park entrance on your right. Reynolds Creek is also equestrian-friendly and pet-friendly, with nearby hiking trails including the easy 1.2-mile Tejas Nature Trail.
