That's a good question. If you have a 4 wheel vehicle you used to be able to drive off road before Seawolf Park over to the other side and launch far left of the park. But from my understanding that property was sold and the new owners will not allow you to and you will be trespassing. I've seen kayakers several years ago unload new the parks entrance and launch off the left side and come around to fish the channel but I think that's too risky for my blood. For $20 you can launch at the Galveston Yacht Basis, I know it's pricey but if you really wanted to to me that would be the safest spot to launch, plus their plenty of parking. But be careful in that channel tons of boat traffic and a lot of big vessels with some pretty crazy prop wash making some tough current to kayak through.
