About This Access Site
Joe Benton Park offers a straightforward boat launch on Lake Nocona, featuring a single concrete ramp located just west of the dam off FM 2953. This is one of three free public access points around the lake and is open year-round, making it a reliable option for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. To reach the ramp from Nocona, take FM 103 north, then turn west on FM 2634 and north on FM 2953.

The park provides basic amenities focused on water access rather than extensive facilities. Beyond the boat ramp, you'll find camping areas and general recreational space. While the park itself maintains minimal infrastructure, the lake offers good opportunities for paddling and fishing. Note that ramp fees apply, and annual passes are available through the city of Nocona, making this an economical choice for frequent visitors.
