Boat Ramps; Deussen Park (free), off N Lake Houston Parkway several ramps, lots of parking, good docks. Lake Houston Marina ($5.00), East side of 1960 bridge, good ramp, limited parking, fair docks. River Grove Park (free), off Woodland Hills Dr in Kingwood, good ramp, good dock, limited parking.

Food; Lake Houston Marina, good burgers, nice covered patio.

On the water fuel; Lake Houston Marina

Comments; South end of lake gets crowded and rough on weekends, for smoother water head up the east fork and ride all the way to the Commons in Huffman. In the west fork, stay in main channels marshlands get very shallow. Weekdays with low winds the whole lake can be glassy smooth.
