The Ranch Road

The Ranch Road offers a rustic boat ramp access point to the Brazos River near Possum Kingdom Lake in Palo Pinto County. This informal launch features an older concrete ramp that provides direct river access, with limited parking available on a rough concrete pad beside the road. The site accommodates all boat types and requires no boat permits or ramp fees, making it a convenient option for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters.

Be aware that this ramp can become inaccessible or difficult to use during low water levels, so water conditions should be checked before visiting. The location sits approximately one mile downstream from the Possum Kingdom Lake spillway, offering paddlers access to both still-water lake sections and river conditions depending on water releases. This is primarily a day-use access point with minimal amenities, making it best suited for paddlers familiar with self-sufficient launches. For those seeking more developed facilities, the nearby Sandy Beach recreation area (BRA #6) offers improved infrastructure including picnic areas and additional parking.
