Matthew's Lakeview Lodge

Matthew's Lakeview Lodge provides a primitive boat ramp for accessing Toledo Bend Reservoir near Many, Louisiana. This location offers a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters exploring the sprawling 185,000-acre reservoir that straddles the Texas-Louisiana border. The site is open year-round and accommodates various vessel types, making it suitable for casual paddling, fishing trips, and recreational boating.

The facility includes basic amenities with overnight camping available on-site; visitors should note that camping fees apply. A modest vehicle parking area is available, though specific capacity may be limited. Before launching, check current water levels and conditions, as Toledo Bend's level fluctuates seasonally. The area is less developed than some major ramps on the reservoir, so arrive prepared with supplies. For current information on fees, conditions, and any facility updates, contact the Sabine River Authority of Texas at (409) 565-2273.
