About This Access Site
Jimmie Davis State Park offers excellent water access to Caney Lake, a 5,000-acre freshwater reservoir created by damming Caney Creek. The Clear Branch access point features two boat launches ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore the lake's calm waters. The park's peninsula location provides scenic surroundings with mixed pine and hardwood forests, making it an attractive setting for paddling and fishing.

This is a prime spot for leisurely paddling and recreational boating on a large, stable reservoir. The lake supports a healthy fishery with catfish species (channel, flathead, and blue cats), and waterskiing is also popular here. The park includes additional amenities such as a fishing pier, camping facilities, and cabin rentals, making it convenient for day trips or extended stays. Multiple launch ramps around the lake offer flexibility for accessing different areas of the reservoir.
