What ramps are open or useable? Going out there for the first time this weekend.

Mustang and the Marina are open. I'd only go to the marina if your tow vehicle is a m4 Sherman tank tho.

I wouldn't use the marina, it's a mess.

North Holiday appeared to be open two weeks ago when I launched at the Marina.

Is the marina really that bad?

Which Mustang? The website says it was updated 1/27/20. I tried to use Mustang Point (I think it was that one) two weeks ago and the park was locked up. I’d never been to the south area of the lake, so maybe I went to the wrong place. I used the marina instead, since I knew it was open.

The link I posted above says Mustang Creek opens April 1, 2020 and Mustang Creek West shows as fully closed. That’s what the sign on the gate said when I tried to drive there. I guess I was at Mustang Creek and not Mustang Point.

Again, I’ve only been down to that part of the lake once, so maybe I just went to the wrong Mustang. Do they all have different entrances? I was using GPS and just typed in Mustang Park.

Just came back from Mustang. It's open, four trailers in the parking lot. There is a sign on entrance booth stating "no camping after April 1" boat ramp remains open to day use only.
