About This Access Site
Five-Mile Dam Park is a whitewater take-out access point located on the Blanco River in Hays County, Texas. This site serves as an exit point for paddlers completing whitewater runs on the Blanco, which is known for its moderate rapids and scenic hill country setting. The take-out location provides river access for kayakers and canoeists finishing their downstream paddles, making it an essential part of the typical Blanco River float trip experience.

As a dedicated take-out facility, Five-Mile Dam Park is specifically designed to accommodate the needs of paddlers exiting the water after their river journey. The site's location near the dam creates manageable water conditions at the take-out point, which is important for safely concluding whitewater paddling activities. Paddlers should plan their trip timing accordingly to ensure daylight access to this facility.
