When is it supposed to open? It, like many projects got hung up and are behind schedule. Was supposed to open in September if i am not mistaken. Hopefully by next spring? Next spring sounds right to me. At this point they have the area for the ramp/road cleared and leveled. They will need to pour concrete still so depending on how fast they work it could be sooner than Spring but I think thats a fair guess.

Anybody have any construction updates/pictures/etc... of the progress over there? I drive by it pretty regularly... they have not done anything in the last few months. Its ground to a halt. Not even seen anyone there, all the equipment is gone. Now, could be they are working and I just am not seeing them but I dont see any progress. They have the area for a paved approach nice and leveled out, several huge drainage pipes have been installed, lots of rip rapp has been added. But its still all dirt, no pavement or anything that resembles a ramp or launch really.

I drove by it two weeks ago. Looks the same as it did in November.
My guess is they moved out all the equipment as a precaution--they would have had a tough time getting that equipment out if there was rapidly rising water, especially if there was any freezing precipitation.

Just an observation. I drove down to this launch on Sunday. It is PERFECT. Easy launch and plenty of parking. Unfortunately someone has already chosen to dump trash out here in the parking area.

Is it done? I drove by a few weeks ago and it was still dirt and riprap. It was pretty muddy when I was there... So I just looked from the shoulder of 121.

I am referring to the launch off Hebron Pkwy. Not sure it is visible from 121, but yes it is completed.

I was unaware they were building one at Hebron. Sounds like it's complete. I drove past the one at SH121 yesterday. It looks like construction has stopped. The water was crazy stupid high though. They are definitely draining Lewisville as fast as they can. Not sure I would put a kayak in there at this time lol.

Saw some yakkers out there Sunday.
