About This Access Site
This boat ramp in Zavala County provides access to the Nueces River, a waterway best paddled after significant rainfall when water levels are adequate. The ramp is located at a county park accessible via Airport Road near George West, TX. Take Business 59 to Highway 281, then follow Airport Road to reach the facility. This access point is maintained through a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department lease agreement with local property owners to improve public fishing and paddling access.

**Paddling Conditions:** The Nueces River is typically too low for paddling during dry periods but becomes an enjoyable paddling destination after good rains. During extended wet periods when aquifers recharge fully, the river can offer whitewater paddling opportunities for several weeks. Paddlers should monitor water conditions before planning trips and take all appropriate safety precautions. Check Texas Parks and Wildlife Department resources for current conditions and additional information about this access area.
