About This Access Site
Sabine State Park offers public boat ramp access to the Sabine River in Smith County, Texas, located northeast of the bridge crossing on FM 2517 (approximately 4.5 miles east of US Hwy 59 near Carthage). The facility includes a boat ramp, parking, and primitive tent camping. Access is available year-round from 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset for fishing and recreational paddling.

The Sabine River at this location is a major waterway—a Stream Order 8 river with an average flow of over 9,100 cubic feet per second and moderate current averaging 5.89 feet/second. With a gentle gradient of 0.8 feet/mile, the river is generally suitable for kayakers and canoeists, though paddlers should be prepared for the substantial current and width typical of this 519-mile river system. The access point also provides opportunities to observe wildlife, including roseate spoonbills and herons, particularly along the adjacent Spoonbill Trail.
