Red Bear Resort offers a private boat ramp facility on Lake Tawakoni, a popular 37,000-acre reservoir on the Sabine River in Hunt County. As a gated RV resort, access to the ramp is available to resort guests and day-use visitors. The facility features multiple boat ramps and boat slips, making it convenient for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The resort sits on 27 acres and includes additional amenities such as a fishing pier, dock access, convenience store, and restrooms.
Lake Tawakoni is known as the "Catfish Capital of Texas" and offers calm, scenic paddling conditions ideal for kayakers and canoeists. If you're not staying at the resort, check current policies regarding day-use access and any associated fees. The lake also has other public launch options nearby, including the Sabine River Authority Public Boat Ramp (free, no fees) located off Texas 47 on the west side of the dam, providing an alternative if Red Bear Resort access is restricted.
