I asked a lady in the Georgetown COE office ... When I'm kayaking down the San Bernard river controlled by the Brazos River Authority of the State of Texas, and at some point just before entering lake ____ it becomes Army Corps waters, what color is the boundary line that is painted on the water so I know not to cross it, and if there is none, what are the GPS coordinates, surely you would know the GPS coordinates of your boundaries?

They don't.

Keith B is right though, The Georgetown lady said there are theoretical markers, she doesn't know where they are, but was told that they are often brass, but none in the water that anyone knows of.

The no firearms sign has no bearing on a chl holder unless COE. It is not COE
:iagree: :thumbs2: :txflag:
The Authority General Office is the administrative center for the Sabine River Authority of Texas :txflag:
CHLs can carry there.

Tpwd is the best place to check first :thumbs2:

MOST parks, city/county/State/Federal are posted with "NO FIREARMS" signs ... like most grocery stores, liquer stores/restaurants/Convenience stores/Walgreens have the "unlicensed carry prohibited signs" ... those don't apply to us licensees carrying the type of handgun you are licensed to carry .... however, a CHL doesn't mean you may carry a rifle/shotgun/long gun into a no firearms posted park..

I just found this link -- can someone confirm that this is all the COE lakes in Texas, as it appears to be? http://corpslakes.usace.army.mil/visito ... m?state=TX" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I would say since that is the COE website, then they have listed all of their lakes. Doubt they would miss any.
I agree that's the "lakes"
However, if you use online maps etc and notice such small bodies of water there are some water bodies named "conservation pond site No 6" or similar, those are usually Army Corps locations, though not lakes, and sometimes/often bordered by private property.

It isn't all the land they control, example "Addicks dam reservoir/Barker .. etc

Inks Lake is State/LCRA ... I used my CHL as my ID and was carrying in the office when getting my "Bluebonnet Pass" (now called "Texas Parklands Passport ") there... carry away.

Passes Available for use at Texas State Parks

Since this whole COE thing gets a little confusing, I had her park the car outside of the gate, disarmed, and went into the office. I asked if there was any problem with CHL carry. Their answer was, "If you have a CHL, then carry on". Had a wonderful time that day.

History: Tyler State Park is 985.5 acres in Smith County, north of Tyler. The park includes a 64-acre lake. The land was deeded by private owners in 1934 and 1935;

State owns it; not ACOE ... carry there all you want

Easiest way is check TPWD's 1) State Park site and if a major lake 2)the TPWD Fishing site ... and 3) ACOE recreation/lakes gateway site, but Yeah, they'll usually know in the office
