Johnson Creek Marina is a well-developed public access point on Johnson Creek Reservoir, part of the expansive Lake O' The Pines recreation area in Marion County, Texas. The facility offers a boat ramp and courtesy dock, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boats. The reservoir itself is part of a massive 18,700-acre water system surrounded by Northeast Texas piney woods, providing scenic paddling opportunities across a large, relatively calm water body.
The marina includes several amenities to support a full day of recreation: restrooms with showers, trash receptacles, a sewer dump station, and a swimming beach. There's also a day-use group picnic shelter with electricity for those planning larger outings. The location sits on the north shore along Johnson Creek, making it accessible from FM 726 (from Texas 49 west of Jefferson). While the site is not reservable through Recreation.gov, nearby camping options at Alley Creek Camp and Johnson Creek Camp (both reservable) offer convenient overnight accommodations for extended paddling trips.
