Squaw Creek Park

Squaw Creek Park provides public boat access to Squaw Creek Reservoir near Granbury in Hood County. The park is open Thursday through Sunday for day use only, with boat permits required and available Friday through Sunday ($30 permit fee; $5 for bank fishing). Boat launching is permitted from sunrise to sunset. Note that headlights must be turned off in the ramp area, and swimming or wading is prohibited.

This is a good access point for kayakers and boaters looking to explore Squaw Creek Reservoir. The reservoir supports a healthy fishery with channel catfish year-round, and the lake features flats and points suitable for drift fishing. Paddlers should be aware of the limited operating hours and plan accordingly, as the park closes outside the Thursday-Sunday window. The relatively calm reservoir environment makes it accessible for various skill levels, though you'll want to confirm current conditions and any specific ramp amenities before your trip.
