**Location & Access:**
Alamo Beach Road provides boat ramp access to Medina Lake in Bandera County, located between Pipe Creek and Lakehills off FM 1283. The site features a two-lane concrete ramp suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats when water levels permit.
**Practical Information:**
The concrete ramp is usable when lake level is 30 feet or above. During lower water conditions, boaters and paddlers can launch from the gravel bank adjacent to the ramp. The launch area is accessible 24 hours, making it convenient for early morning or evening paddling sessions. A gravel parking area is available for vehicles and trailers. Remember to clean, drain, and dry your boat before and after use to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
**What to Expect:**
As a large impoundment on the Medina River, Medina Lake offers calm water conditions suitable for recreational paddling and boating. The site provides straightforward access without extensive amenities, making it a good choice for paddlers seeking a no-frills launch point for exploring the lake.
