The Sommerfeld Drive access point is one of two public boat ramps located in a small park on the south shore of Tradinghouse Creek Reservoir in Waco. This is a convenient launch location for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to access the 37,814-acre-foot reservoir. The ramp provides good access to calm, protected waters ideal for recreational paddling, fishing, and leisurely boating.
Tradinghouse Creek Reservoir is a serene destination popular with locals and visitors alike. The calm waters make it suitable for paddlers of all skill levels, and the surrounding park area offers amenities for picnicking and relaxing between water activities. Given the reservoir's size and protected character, expect relatively gentle conditions—making this an excellent choice for family outings, casual fishing trips, and recreational paddling rather than whitewater adventures.
