About This Access Site
**Location & Access**
The US385 Bridge access site provides boat launch access to the Canadian River near Boys Ranch in Oldham County, Texas. The ramp is located on the right side of the bridge approach, making it relatively easy to spot when approaching from either direction on US385.

**Best For**

The location offers a straightforward put-in for paddlers interested in exploring this section of the Canadian River. As with many rural Texas river access points, paddlers should be prepared for variable water conditions and check current water levels before heading out, as the Canadian River can experience significant seasonal flow changes.
