Is there any way to have the water bypass that "public lake" called McQueeney?

You will be saying the same thing about Dunlap.

I have no beef with Dunlap. I do have a problem with a public lake that the public can't access.

Will Dunlap have public access?

There has always been public access to Dunlap and that is the Launch under the I35 bridge which is still there.
Also private access pay ramp down toward the main lake.

McQueeney has a sketchy semi-public ramp far upriver that you can launch at your own risk! Not that the ramp is bad enough, but having your vehicle still there like you left it, or even if you'll have one when you get back.

Jimbo last time I checked that ramp your talking about is just about wiped out. Don't even know if you can still access it anymore. It was a right away for Utilities company at one time.

I think that ramp is in the lakecreek "subdivision" its real small, its been years since i've been on it but it was rough then. best for small boats. Its a neighborhood association ramp, its not really public. you're supposed to live in teh neighborhood or i suppose have permission from someone who does although i sorta doubt that real monitored. not much parking there though either. and then its a decent run down river to get into mcqueeny. for launching a small boat it'd probably be ok. bigger at your own risk. parking at your own risk. i don't know it to be a super rough area but i don't spend a lot of time there either.
