Lebanon

The Lebanon boat ramp provides access to Lake Texoma in Marshall County, Oklahoma, near the town of Lebanon. This access point is part of the Cedar Bayou recreation area and serves as a launching point for paddlers, boaters, and anglers accessing this major reservoir. The site is non-reservable and operates as a day-use facility.

The Red River system is a major waterway with substantial flow and water volume. Upstream of Lake Texoma, the river averages over 68,000 cubic feet per second with velocities around 6 feet per second, indicating moderate to strong current conditions. Paddlers should be prepared for significant water movement and plan accordingly for their skill level and vessel type. Lake Texoma itself provides calmer conditions than the free-flowing river, making this a good staging area for recreational boating and fishing.

When planning your visit, check current water conditions and wind forecasts, as large reservoirs can generate challenging wave conditions. Nearby towns like Madill and Thackerville offer additional services and amenities for boaters exploring this section of the Red River system.
