FM 2611 Bridge

The FM 2611 Bridge boat ramp provides convenient access to the San Bernard River near Churchill in Brazoria County. Located under the FM 2611 overpass, this access point serves as one of several launch options along the San Bernard River system, making it a practical choice for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats looking to explore this coastal waterway.

From this access point, paddlers can travel upstream or downstream along the San Bernard River, with opportunities to access the Intracoastal Waterway and eventually the Gulf of Mexico by heading downstream. The area is near San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge, which protects diverse salt marsh, coastal prairie, and freshwater habitats—offering scenic paddling opportunities and wildlife viewing. Nearby alternative access points include the McNeil Bridge on FM 521 and additional ramps further downstream, giving paddlers flexibility in trip planning.

Before launching, check local conditions and tidal information, as the San Bernard River is influenced by coastal tides and can vary seasonally. The site is in a rural area, so plan accordingly for amenities and ensure you have proper permits or passes if required for refuge access.
