Cedar Creek is my favorite. It has a dock, isn't busy and is around mid lake. It also has a bathroom if you are carrying the wife along.
It's only a good cast if you catch a fish... Personal Best: 11.62 lbs

Kinda depends on how you are getting to the lake. I second Cedar Creek but partially because usually coming out of Cleburne on 174. Like said above its a good ramp with a dock and free. The parking lot is a little tight though.

Are there any ramps on Little Rocky creek ?? There are 4 ramps when you turn by the dam. Lofers Bend is under construction, it is the first one ramp on the left when you turn off the Highway. Keep going and then you will come to an intersection Lofers W Lofers E and Harbor Master

I tried to launch yesterday morning at Cedar Creek. The park is open, but the gate to the ramp is locked. Water was up in the middle of the round ramp area. Went to Harbor Master instead. Lofers West is closed but Lofers East is open. I'll be glad when McCown opens again.
I can also confirm that Hamms Creek ramp is closed. My son tried to launch there on Friday and water was up in the boat parking area.

On Saturday the water was pretty muddy for that lake. There was also a lot of floaters to watch out for while running that washed in from the creeks and down the river. I haven't heard any ramp updates since earlier in this post, but I'm planning to try to launch from Lofers East this weekend. There is rain in the forecast for Friday, so I'm praying it won't be heavy as last week.

I know Kimball Bend, Cedar Creek, McCown, Steele Creek, loafers west are open. I would believe all ramps except loafers by the dam are open.

I was out there this past Saturday. We launched at the State Park. All the ramps appeared to be open that we made it by. I agree, I don't see any reason why they all aren't open unless they are doing some kind of maintenance on them.
