Cedar Ridge Park

Cedar Ridge Park offers a convenient two-lane concrete boat ramp for accessing Belton Lake on Cedar Creek near Temple. Located on the east shore at mid-lake, this U.S. Army Corps of Engineers facility provides essential amenities including a courtesy dock, parking for vehicles and trailers, restroom facilities, and onsite services like live bait and boat gas. The park is open year-round from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.

To access the ramp, take FM 439 west from Texas 317 in Belton, pass the dam, and follow park signage. Note that an Activity Pass is required; visitors must physically arrive at the park to claim a parking space and pay the fee via QR code instructions posted at the boat ramp parking areas. This makes Cedar Ridge Park a reliable launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters exploring Belton Lake.
