At the direction of Gov. Greg Abbott, Texas State Parks will be closed to the public effective at the close of business Tuesday, April 7 in order to maintain the safest environment for visitors, volunteers and staff. We will continue to stay current with the latest public health recommendations and will announce when a definite reopening date has been determined. Here are the details: bit.ly/StateParksClose

This shouldn't be a surprise because it's Easter week end, where the masses leave their homes and look for any shad tree to have a picnic and Easter egg hunt.
Too many parks closed and you wouldn't be able to find a boat launch that wasn't full of others looking for a place to picnic.
Just one more cast!

With some of these lakes so high only a hand full of ramps were open and the park ramps were part of these.

Too many parks closed and you wouldn't be able to find a boat launch that wasn't full of others looking for a place to picnic. Yet.... Greg Abbott insists church service is still 'essential'... So none of this makes any logical sense. It's OK to confine 300+ people in a small structure for an hour or two, but somehow an outdoor Easter weekend get together is different? Yeesh....

“Given the myriad of challenges and heightened risks of operating the parks at this time, we believe this is the best course of action right now in order to meet the health and safety expectations the state has set out for the citizens of Texas,” said Carter Smith, Executive Director of TPWD. “All state parks will remain temporarily closed until public health and safety conditions improve. During the closure, staff will continue to steward and care for the parks to ensure they can be immediately reopened to visitors at the appropriate time.” Not that people are saying it in this thread, but this is not just for Easter weekend.

I just talked to the state park at Ray Roberts and they are closing all state park property. That means all ramps will be closed and she stated if you are caught on the property you are subject to fines. So if the lake doesn't have private access ramps like Ray Roberts the state is closing the entire lake.
