Comanche County boat launch
Comanche County
Proctor Lake covers an area of approximately 4,540 acres and is known for its excellent fishing opportunities, particularly for catfish, bass, and crappie. The lake is also popular for water sports such as boating, water skiing, and swimming.
As for the types of watercraft permitted on the lake, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers states that all boats must comply with state laws and regulations regarding safety equipment and registration. However, no personal watercraft or airboats are allowed on Proctor Lake. Additionally, boaters must observe a no-wake zone within 200 feet of the shoreline, docks, and boats anchored or moored in the lake.
In summary, the Comanche County boat ramp in Texas provides access to Proctor Lake for recreational boating activities. It is a concrete ramp that is approximately 20 feet wide and accommodates small to medium-sized watercraft. Fishing, water sports, and boating are popular activities on the lake, and all boats must comply with state laws and regulations regarding safety equipment and registration. No personal watercraft or airboats are allowed on the lake, and boaters must observe a no-wake zone within 200 feet of the shoreline and other boats.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app
Save Comanche County as a favorite, set a discharge threshold or a wind/precipitation alert, and the iOS app will push the moment conditions cross.
About Comanche County
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
