About This Access Site
Wilson H. Fox Park offers excellent public access to Granger Lake via two concrete boat ramps—a six-lane ramp and a two-lane ramp—making it well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and larger recreational boats. Located on the shores of Granger Lake in Williamson County, the park provides a full-service facility with beach access, fishing docks, and swimming areas. The lake is known as one of the top five crappie and white bass fishing spots in Central Texas, attracting anglers and water sports enthusiasts year-round.

To reach Wilson H. Fox Park, take Highway 95 north to FM 1331, then travel east approximately 7 miles to the Granger Dam entrance; turn left and take the next left into the park. The facility is reservable through Recreation.gov (512-859-2668) and offers lakeside camping alongside the boat ramps, making it convenient for multi-day paddling trips. The park has two playgrounds and is situated amid the gently rolling hills of the Texas Blackland Prairie, offering scenic paddling conditions.
