**Location & Access:** Located 4 miles west of Silverton on Texas Highway 86/207, this boat ramp provides access to Cope Creek and Lake Mackenzie in Briscoe County. To reach the ramp, turn north on Highway 207 for 6 miles to the Mackenzie entrance, then turn left through the gate. The ramp is the first right turn after crossing the dam.
**Lake Conditions & Considerations:** Mackenzie Reservoir historically spans approximately 910 acres with a storage capacity of 46,250 acre-feet. However, **the area is currently experiencing drought conditions that may significantly affect water levels and boat ramp accessibility.** Before planning your trip, check current lake levels or contact the controlling authority to confirm ramp usability. Vigo Park offers multiple boat ramps, campsites, and camping facilities managed by the Mackenzie Municipal Water Authority, making it a good option for extended paddling or boating trips.
