With the Arkansas Bend park/ramp closed until late 2018 what suggestions are there for public boat launching on the east side of L Travis between Cypress Creek & Mansfield Dam Parks and Glouster Bend park in far upper end? Yeah know about Jonestown ramp but they are gouging $15 to launch.
Briarcliff Marina charges $20 to launch if you're not a resident of the Village. I think that's how much the Horseshoe Bay Marina charges to get on LBJ.
Thanks - but Briarcliff is on the west side of Travis. Nothing on east side other than Dink Pearson Park which is sketchy with no ramp.
On LBJ use the city of Granite Shoals Parks ramps like Blue Briar.
Not true...There are Travis County ramps in Cypress Creek and Sandy Creek.
But no public ramps between Sandy Cr and Glouster Bend on lake's east side until Arkansas Bend reopens. Even when it does reopen it's a loong run from Arkansas Bend up to mid-lake to fish Lago Vista, Briarcliff, Cow Cr, etc. areas of Travis.
For a lake that's been there for so long it's unfortunate that LCRA or the county has not been able to provide a public ramp on the east side in those areas.
Travis County tried by passing a bond election to develop Dink Pearson Park with paved ramp, etc. But that all fell thru because the county could not secure complete legal access to the undeveloped park land. So Travis County is using the bond $$ to upgrade Arkansas Bend but we're still left with no public ramp on east side mid-lake.
