About This Access Site
Ragtown provides a double-laned public boat ramp on Toledo Bend Reservoir in the northern section of this major water body. Located in Shelby County on a scenic bluff with eastward-facing views, this access point offers parking and day-use facilities for launching kayaks, canoes, and powerboats. The site is accessible most of the year, making it a reliable option for paddlers exploring the reservoir. For additional information or questions about current conditions, contact (409) 625-1940.

Toledo Bend Reservoir offers a large, well-developed paddling destination along the Texas-Louisiana border. The underlying Sabine River is a major waterway (Stream Order 8) with significant drainage (9,577 square miles) and average flows around 9,100 cubic feet per second, though reservoir conditions are generally calmer than the river itself. Paddlers should be prepared for a substantial water body and check conditions before launching. Camping facilities with multiple family units are available nearby for those planning extended trips.
