Rocky Point

Rocky Point provides boat ramp access to Wright Patman Lake near the Sulphur River channel in northeast Texas. Located within Piney Point Park just south of the Sulphur River Dam, this facility offers a reliable launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boats. The ramp is accessible year-round and can accommodate boats of various sizes. Access the ramp by taking US 59 to the south side of the dam, then turning left and following signs; the ramp is located approximately 2.5 miles north of FM 3129.

Wright Patman Lake spans 30,000 surface acres across the piney woods region of northeast Texas, providing ample paddling opportunities. This is primarily a reservoir setting rather than a flowing river, making it suitable for paddlers of varying skill levels. The Sulphur River channel offers interesting navigation near the dam area. Piney Point Park itself features full amenities including a campground, swimming beach, playground, and hiking trails. For more information or to make campground reservations, contact the park at 903-796-0684. Note that beach access and ramps may occasionally close during high water periods.
