The FM 266 Bridge boat ramp provides access to the Brazos River in Knox County, Texas. This access point is located beneath the FM 266 Bridge crossing and offers a launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small boats looking to paddle this section of the river.
**What to Know Before You Go:**
The Brazos River in this region is a moderate-sized waterway that can experience significant current and flow variations depending on recent rainfall and upstream conditions. Water levels can rise substantially after heavy rains, creating strong currents that require caution, especially for less experienced paddlers. Check current conditions before launching. The access point is best suited for paddlers with small, portable vessels or trailers, as ramp conditions and facilities may be limited compared to larger developed launch areas. This section of the river passes through rural Knox County, offering a natural paddling experience through relatively remote terrain.
**Planning Your Visit:**
Contact local authorities or check with Knox County Parks for current access conditions, any seasonal closures, or additional details about parking and facilities at this site. It's advisable to scout the ramp conditions beforehand if possible, particularly after heavy rainfall when water levels may be elevated and access points may be affected.
