Newark

The Newark Boat Ramp, located in Pecan Acres on Eagle Mountain Lake in Wise County, provides public access to this popular recreation area. As one of three public boat ramps around Eagle Mountain Lake, it offers a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The ramp is suitable for small to medium-sized vessels and serves as an excellent starting point for exploring the lake and downstream paddling opportunities.

From this access point, paddlers can explore Eagle Mountain Lake or venture onto the West Fork Trinity River downstream. The river corridor flowing east from the lake is generally safe for paddling, though paddlers should research their intended route beforehand to identify any dams or obstacles. If planning trips downstream beyond Beach Street Launch to the east, a shuttle will be required. Many paddlers use this ramp as a starting point for day trips on the lake itself, which offers calmer water suitable for various skill levels.

The site is part of Eagle Mountain Lake's larger recreational infrastructure, which includes multiple public and private ramps around the lake. Additional amenities at nearby facilities may include courtesy docks, camping, and swimming beaches, though specific offerings at the Newark ramp should be confirmed locally before your visit.
