Collin Park offers convenient access to Lavon Lake via two four-lane boat ramps suitable for kayaks, canoes, and larger vessels. Located in Wylie on the East Fork Trinity River, this year-round facility features amenities including restrooms, hot showers, and ample parking. Note that the public boat ramps are accessible without a park entrance fee, though a $5 fee applies if you wish to use other park facilities. The facility operates under controlled access with an attended gate secured nightly from 10:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m.
Lavon Lake is a sprawling reservoir offering excellent opportunities for paddling and boating across a wide area. Beyond water recreation, the nearby Heard Natural Science Museum and Wildlife Sanctuary in McKinney provides a complementary destination with nature trails and exhibits. Whether you're launching for a day paddle or planning a multi-day camping trip, Collin Park serves as a well-developed hub with the option to rent RV or tent sites, access dry storage, and enjoy a sandy beach area.
