My office is moving to Cypress Waters next week and I will be close to the southeast portion of Lake Grapevine. Will have to start going out there a night or 2 after work. I know nothing about the lake and am just starting to look for ramps and the contours in this section. I hope to do a little cat fishing. Is there a good place to put in close to the Dam? Any information on good places to launch in the southeast would be appreciated. If there are places I need to stay away from that would also be appreciated.

Its not near the dam, but Twin Coves Park in Flower Mound has a kayak launch dock, as well as a regular launch. I cant remember how much it is. We paid for a yearly access card. Im sure if you go more than 10-15 times in a year the yearly works out cheaper. Being on the north shore, its not as wind-friendly as something on the south side, but paddling back in would be easy.

Thanks for the input. I will try to go check these out this week after work.
There is what looks to be park just south of the dam. I do not see a boat ramp there but does the shore go down gradually so you could launch a kayak from there or is there a drop off? Is it safe to leave a vehicle there>

Is it safe to leave a vehicle there> If you're talking about the greenbelt/trail across the street from Grapevine Mills mall, you _might_ be able to launch a kayak here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/32%C2%B058'24.5%22N+97%C2%B002'36.6%22W/@32.9734621,-97.0440502,234m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d32.9734606!4d-97.0435035 Otherwise there's a dropoff along the trail. The spot I linked to above has some rocks you can walk down to and possibly launch your kayak from if you're willing to drag it that far and through the rocks.

I was actually talking south end of the dam on the lake side there is a road sunfish drive that goes along the shore there.

There is actually a ramp there but it has been closed due to high water, not sure if it has opened yet. I don't know how far it is from the barricades to the water. The rest of the park is pretty steep down to the water.....
