FM 4416

The FM 4416 access point provides boat ramp facilities on Striker Creek near New Summerfield in Cherokee County. This is a privately operated park, so visitors should confirm current access policies and any associated fees before arriving. The ramp serves as an entry point to Lake Striker, a reservoir characterized by standing timber, lily pads, and boat docks that create diverse habitat conditions.

This location is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boats looking to explore the lake. The standing timber and creek channels make for interesting paddling routes, particularly for those interested in fishing for bass and other game fish. Before your visit, contact local authorities to confirm the ramp is operational, as closures can occur due to maintenance, weather, or special events. Note that waterfowl hunting is permitted only from the water surface, not from the shoreline. From Rusk, take US 84 east approximately 11 miles to reach the area.
