McQueens Landing is the northernmost public boat launch on the Big Thicket section of the Neches River near Spurger, making it an ideal starting point for paddlers planning extended float trips. Located in scenic Jasper County, this access point serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore the river's natural landscape. The site sits within the remarkable Big Thicket region, known for its diverse ecosystems and proximity to four National Forests and an Indian Reservation.
From McQueens Landing, paddlers should note that the next reliable boat ramp downriver is the Evadale ramp on US 96, approximately 51 river miles south. This distance makes McQueens Landing particularly valuable for planning multi-day paddling trips. For those seeking nearby amenities, Campers Cove campground is located within 10 miles, and Steinhagen Lake offers additional recreation options in the area. Paddlers should plan accordingly for the river conditions and current between these two access points.
