About This Access Site
**Overview & Access**
Park at Dam - 3 is a public boat ramp facility located at Lake Daniel near Breckenridge in Stephens County. This one-lane concrete ramp provides vehicle and watercraft access to Gunsolus Creek and the lake system. The site includes picnic areas and primitive camping options, making it suitable for day trips and overnight outings.
**Conditions & Practicalities**
Water levels significantly impact usability at this ramp—the facility becomes increasingly difficult to access when lake levels drop approximately 10 feet below spillway level. Under low-water conditions, a four-wheel-drive vehicle is recommended for launching. Parking capacity is limited to roughly 25 vehicles. Paddlers should check current lake conditions before visiting, especially during dry periods, and plan accordingly for alternative access points if water levels are low.
**Amenities**
The site features picnic facilities and barbecue grills. Nearby amenities at Lake Daniel include restrooms, covered shelters, and designated fishing areas. The creek channel offers small cove access updraft from the dam for a more sheltered paddling experience.
