About This Access Site
Minnow Bucket Marina offers convenient access to the Caney Creek arm of Lake Fork Reservoir near Quitman, Texas. Located at the southeast end of the Texas Highway 154 bridge, this full-service facility features extended boat ramps with marked boat lane buoys, a gas dock, and gravel parking. The marina's proximity to the highway makes it one of the most accessible launch points for reaching either arm of the lake quickly.

This is a well-developed access point ideal for boaters and paddlers seeking amenities beyond the ramp itself. On-site services include a modern convenience store with bait and tackle, a fishing pier, and the Bass Lantern Restaurant. The facility also offers overnight lodging options (motel rooms and RV/tent camping), making it suitable for multi-day trips. For paddlers and recreational boaters, the established infrastructure and services make this a comfortable choice, though expect a more developed marina atmosphere rather than a primitive access point.
