About This Access Site
The US 290 Bridge crossing provides access to the Brazos River in Washington County near the state highway. This is a basic access point with a designed turnaround area rather than a dedicated boat ramp, making it suitable for hand-launching kayaks, canoes, and smaller watercraft. The site offers a practical entry point for paddlers looking to explore this section of the Brazos River.
Visitors should note that this is a minimal-amenity access area—come prepared with what you'll need for your paddling trip. The location near the US 290 bridge in Washington County makes it a convenient reference point for river access. Be sure to check current river conditions before launching, as the Brazos River's flow can vary seasonally, which may affect paddling difficulty and water levels at the launch area.
