**Location & Access:** This boat ramp is located on the Trinity River where it feeds into Lake Livingston in San Jacinto County, Texas. The ramp is situated on the right side before the bridge crossing. From Riverside, take Texas 19 north to FM 980 east, then continue approximately 1 mile and turn left on Shorewood Drive to reach the access point.
**Facilities & Use:** Waterwood Bay Road provides a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats accessing both the flowing Trinity River section and the broader Lake Livingston reservoir. The area includes basic boat ramp facilities. Nearby, Tigerville Park offers additional amenities including restrooms, showers, fishing piers, and fish cleaning stations if you need more extensive facilities. The region is popular for fishing and recreational boating across the lake system.
**Planning Note:** Water levels and conditions can vary seasonally, particularly during heavy rainfall periods when the Trinity River may experience increased flow. Check current conditions before launching, especially if you're planning river paddling rather than lake exploration. This access works well as a starting point for exploring either the calmer lake waters or the river sections upstream and downstream.
