The FM 3119 access site offers a two-lane boat ramp in a protected cove on Gum Creek near Lake Jacksonville in Jacksonville, Texas. This facility provides parking for approximately 40 vehicles and includes dedicated boat trailer parking, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boats. The protected cove location offers calmer water conditions for launch and retrieval, which is particularly helpful for paddlers loading and unloading gear.
This access point provides entry to Lake Jacksonville and the surrounding Gum Creek area, with nearby features including Amelia Island and sandbars that offer additional paddling and recreation opportunities. The site has been improved through Texas Parks and Wildlife Department boating access grants, with enhancements including additional ramp lanes and trailer turnaround space. Before visiting, check local regulations and water conditions, as lake levels can fluctuate seasonally and may affect launch conditions.
