Jack's 944 Marina

Jack's 944 Marina offers a straightforward launch option on the southwest corner of Toledo Bend Reservoir near Hemphill, Texas. The facility features a single-lane concrete boat ramp with adjacent gravel parking, suitable for all boat types including kayaks and canoes. Located on the north side of Pot Branch off Road 944, this year-round access point is convenient for paddlers looking to explore Housen Bayou and the wider reservoir system. Note that there is a launch fee.

Toledo Bend Reservoir is a large impoundment ideal for recreational paddling, fishing, and boating. From Jack's 944, paddlers can access both the quieter backwater areas of Housen Bayou and venture into the main reservoir body. The site's modest amenities make it a practical, no-frills launch point rather than a full-service marina. For those seeking additional facilities or a two-lane ramp option, Ragtown Boat Ramp and Toledo Bend Marina are alternative access points located mid-lake and on the west side of the reservoir.
