About This Access Site
Located 10 miles north of Spearman near the town of Spearman in the Texas Panhandle, this boat ramp provides access to Palo Duro Reservoir on Horse Creek, a tributary of the North Canadian River. To reach the north entrance, take Highway 15 north from Spearman and turn onto FM 3214, which crosses the dam to the access area. The park charges a $2.00 per person entry fee plus an additional $2.00 for boat ramp use.

**Important Note:** This area is currently experiencing drought conditions that may significantly impact water levels and boat ramp accessibility. Before making the trip, check current lake levels and contact the Palo Duro Ground Water District for up-to-date conditions to ensure adequate water depth for your vessel. Beyond paddling and boating, the park offers hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, camping, and wildlife observation opportunities in the scenic canyon setting.
