or you can go to the source:
http://lcra.org/parks/boat_ramp_info.html

of course thats for public boat ramps.
Plenty of private ramps are still the water and if you have a 4x4
you can launch at parks like Dink Pearson in Lago..
If you are an Austinite and dont want to drive to this side of the lake then yeah you might be screwed.

Is Lakeway's ramp still open? I launched my 32 there a couple of years ago when the water was very low. We are thinking about coming to the LTPA Carlos and Charlies poker run in July and staying at Lakeway. It was tight getting the 32, I have not seen it since they did some construction and don't know if you can get a 42 launched there.

We have 2 rooms reserved for the same weekend at Lakeway. I am wondering if we need to cancel with NO water. This Sucks !

I am pulling my 28 out at Lakeway tomorrow -- and will report back the condition of the ramp.

Just last weekend I was asking the marina manager about the length of the ramp there, and she indicated it's quite long -- and should be OK. That said, there's already a lot of ramp showing (and a good sized pothole on one side near the bottom).

ramp at my marina is still in the water but I am on the other side of the Lake (Lago Vista) however if any of you need to use it let me know.
