US90 Bridge

The US 90 Bridge ramp is the only publicly accessible boat launch in Liberty County, making it a convenient access point for paddlers and boaters exploring this section of the Trinity River. Located in Liberty near the US 90/SH 146 crossing, the ramp provides straightforward public access for kayaks, canoes, and motorized vessels. This is an important resource for the area, as alternative launches are limited along this stretch.

The Trinity River at this location is a major waterway—a Stream Order 8 river with an average flow of approximately 9,510 cubic feet per second and relatively modest current averaging 5.9 feet/second. Paddlers should expect a substantial river with moderate flow; while the gradient is gentle (0.8 ft/mile average), the river's size and flow demand respect for current conditions, especially during high water. The Liberty to Interstate 10 stretch extends 28 miles downstream, offering extended paddling opportunities. Be aware that water levels and flow rates can vary seasonally, affecting launch conditions and paddling difficulty.
