BOAT RAMPS OPEN ON JOE POOL LAKE
GRAND PRAIRIE—Joe Pool Lake is full, but boat ramps are still open at Lynn Creek and Loyd parks. Despite record rain this summer, the lake is just over 3 feet above normal, still great for boating, water skiing, wake boarding and fishing. “We receive lots of calls asking about our boat ramps and the lake levels,” said Bob McGlothlin, Senior Superintendent for Grand Prairie’s Lake Parks. “Ramps are closed at many of the metroplex area lakes, but at Lynn Creek and Loyd Parks at Joe Pool Lake our ramps are open.”
Boat ramps are located at Lynn Creek Park, just east of Lake Ridge Parkway in Grand Prairie, and Loyd Park, located at 3401 Ragland Road east of SH 360. The parks also have swimming beaches. Loyd Park features campsites, air conditioned cabins and a meeting room available for rent. Admission to the parks is $10 per car. The annual fireworks display at Lynn Creek Park is scheduled for July 4 at dark.
