Hazard
FM 3228/Hamilton Pool Rd Low-Water Crossing (Hammett's Crossing)

Known hazard at some levels.  Theoretically, this is an access point, but there is no parking anywhere around, and in recent years, boaters have been accosted by the Sheriff when attempting to use this crossing as a put-in or takeout.  Recommend taking out at Reimers Ranch instead.

Parking/access at river right (day use fee required.)  There is a large paved parking lot at the top of the hill, with a paved road that leads down to the river (you can park temporarily on that road while loading boats.)
