Great news for boaters.
One of the few boat ramps still open on the north side of Canyon Lake, Boat Ramp #18, will stay open indefinitely.
Water Oriented Recreation District of Canyon Lake (WORD) extended the operating season for the 485-acre Canyon Park beyond Oct. 31 until further notice.
“We recognize that Boat Ramp #18 is one of the few ramps currently open on Canyon Lake, and we want to continue providing the community with lake access and recreational opportunities,” WORD said in a statement.
Comal Park, located on the south side of Canyon Lake, still closes for the season on Oct. 31.
Only Area 2 of Canyon Park — which also includes a fishing pier, shoreline access for swimming and relaxing, grills, and covered picnic sites — will be accessible to visitors.
Beginning Nov. 1, park hours are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. The park closes at dark.
Payment is accepted only via the Park Mobile QR code. Green ParkMobile signs with QR codes are posted throughout the open areas.
Parking regulations will be enforced.
WORD said these hours and access are subject to change at any time. Misuse or noncompliance may result in the revocation of the extended season.
The park also may close on certain holidays or during special events.
