Rangers Crossing identifies a Highway 16 low-water crossing on the Medina River, not a confirmed operated park or managed recreation site.

River sources place the crossing between Peaceful Valley Road and the FM 470 bridge. An older TPWD waterway report mentions a small roadside area, but it does not establish current parking, facilities, launch management, pedestrian access, or legal bank access. Treat the location as crossing information and remain within the public right-of-way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Rangers Crossing a public park?

Current sources do not establish an operated park. Treat it as a road crossing and use only the public right-of-way unless a current authority identifies managed access.

Are parking and river access available?

Parking, pedestrian access, facilities, and legal bank access are unverified. Do not block the road or assume adjoining land is public.

What conditions make the crossing unsafe?

Water over the roadway, moving current, storms, barricades, or flood warnings are reasons to turn around. Check gauges and county notices before leaving.
