Data notes: 4 access points are more than 0.1 mi from the mapped line; its river mile is where it meets the line.
Sources: river line and lengths from NHDPlus V2 via EPA WATERS (lengths scaled to each reach's published length); access points from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), Texas Parks & Wildlife Public Boat Ramps. Only access points in our launch data are shown, so there may be others. Check access, dams and conditions before you go.
