If you love kayaking and live in or near League City, there’s something exciting coming your way! A new kayak launch is being built, making it even easier and safer to get on the water and enjoy the peaceful beauty of Clear Creek. This new feature will soon join other launch points on the Clear Creek Paddle Trail, including spots at Heritage Park, Lynn Gripon Park, and Walter Hall Park.
Where It’s Being Built
The new launch will be located close to the League City Boat Ramp off FM 270. It will sit within the quiet, green surroundings of the Dr. Ned and Fay Dudney Clear Creek Nature Center—a perfect spot for nature lovers.
What It Will Include
The upcoming kayak launch will feature an elevated walkway that leads to a floating dock. Best of all, this dock is designed to be handicap accessible, so everyone can use it, no matter their physical abilities. There will also be designated parking spots nearby, right off the FM 270 feeder road, so visitors can park and get on the water without hassle.
Why It Matters
This isn’t just about adding another place to launch a kayak. It’s about making outdoor fun more inclusive and available to all. By building a launch that is safe and easy for people with disabilities, League City is showing that they want everyone to enjoy the outdoors, no matter their situation.
How It’s Being Funded
The money to plan this project came from a grant by the Texas General Land Office. The building work is being funded through League City’s Capital Improvement Program, which focuses on improving the area’s parks and public spaces. This is part of a bigger plan to improve outdoor spaces for the community.
With construction expected to wrap up later this summer, the new kayak launch is a great step forward for outdoor activities in League City. Whether you’re an experienced paddler or someone new to kayaking, this launch will make it easier and safer to explore Clear Creek.
It’s also a great move toward making outdoor spaces more inclusive and enjoyable for everyone. Once it opens, it’s sure to become a favorite for locals and visitors looking for a relaxing day on the water.
