“Days at or above” counts days in the last year when Lake Travis stayed at or above that ramp's published minimum for the whole day, from the 30,627-day Texas Water Development Board daily record going back to 1940.
“Above minimum” means the lake is at or above the minimum level LCRA publishes for that ramp. It does not mean the ramp is open: ramps also close for high water, maintenance, debris and silt, and operators can close one at any time. Check with the operator before towing.
Ramp by ramp
Lowest minimum first — the order in which ramps stay usable as the lake falls. Each ramp's history is the Lake Travis record measured against that ramp's own published minimum.

Lake Travis water level — common questions
Which Lake Travis boat ramps are usable right now?
Lake Travis is at 675.14 ft above mean sea level, which is above the published minimum lake level for 11 of the 11 ramps that publish one. Clearing the minimum is not the same as the ramp being open: LCRA closes ramps for maintenance and for high water too, so confirm with the operator before towing a boat.
How many public boat ramps does Lake Travis have?
Lake Travis has 12 public boat ramps tracked here, 11 of which have a minimum operable lake level published by LCRA. The rest are listed without a threshold because none is published, not because they have no limit.
What does a boat ramp's minimum lake level mean?
A boat ramp's minimum lake level is the elevation, in feet above mean sea level, below which that ramp stops being usable — the water no longer reaches far enough down the concrete to float a boat off a trailer. The minimum is a floor, not a range: LCRA publishes no maximum, and a ramp can be closed for being underwater as easily as for being dry.
How current is this boat ramp information?
The lake level updates continuously from LCRA's Hydromet gauge. The ramp list and its minimum levels are copied from LCRA and were last verified on 2026-08-10; LCRA does not publish them as a feed, so they are checked by hand rather than synced.
Minimum levels and operator details from LCRA's boat ramp information page, verified 2026-08-10. LCRA is the authority on ramp status; this site is not affiliated with LCRA.
