About This Access Site
The FM 2389 Bridge access point provides a convenient put-in and take-out on the Llano River in Mason County. This site offers a one-lane concrete boat ramp with parking for 20-30 vehicles and trailers, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. The location near the bridge provides easy vehicle access and is a practical staging point for paddling trips on this popular central Texas river.

The Llano River in this area is a scenic, moderate-flow waterway typical of the Hill Country region. Paddlers should be prepared for varying water conditions depending on recent rainfall and upstream dam releases. The FM 2389 crossing near Mason is a well-established access point along the river's main paddling corridor, making it a reliable choice for both day trips and longer excursions. Check current water conditions before launching, especially during drought periods or after heavy rains, as flow rates can fluctuate significantly.
