**Status & Location:** This one-lane concrete boat ramp is located on the Llano River arm on the north side of Lake Lyndon B. Johnson, near Granite Shoals in Burnet County. The ramp was closed by the City of Granite Shoals and may not be currently operational. Before planning a trip, contact the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) or check their current list of active Highland Lakes ramps, as water levels and closures frequently impact access points in this system.
**Nearby Alternatives:** If this ramp is closed, the LCRA maintains an operational ramp in a protected cove between Horseshoe Bay and Cottonwood Shores, accessible via Wirtz Dam Road near Bay Marine and LBJ Marina (approximately 4 miles from Highway 281). This location offers better facilities and is regularly maintained.
**Practical Notes:** Lake LBJ is subject to drawdown by the LCRA, which can affect ramp usability. Always verify current conditions and water levels before visiting. Texas law requires all children under 13 to wear USCG-approved life jackets while underway on boats under 26 feet, and all vessels must have wearable PFDs for everyone aboard.
