Big Cypress Marina is a boat ramp facility located on the south end of Lake O' the Pines in Marion County, near the quiet waters of Big Cypress Bayou. The marina sits in a scenic cove and serves as a convenient launch point for paddlers and boaters exploring this 18,700-acre lake nestled in Northeast Texas's piney woods. To reach the ramp, take US 259 south from Lone Star and turn left on FM 729 before the Big Cypress Creek bridge; the ramp access road is approximately 1 mile south of the intersection.
The area is well-suited for kayakers and canoeists seeking calmer paddling conditions. Beyond the ramp, Black Cypress Bayou and Little Cypress Bayou offer additional exploration opportunities. The facility includes RV camping sites and marina services, making it a good base for extended paddling trips. Nearby campground options at Alley Creek Camp and Johnson Creek Camp (both reservable) provide additional overnight accommodation for those planning multi-day outings on the lake.
