Johnson Branch State Park offers convenient boat ramp access to the Elm Fork Trinity River arm of Lake Ray Roberts, a 29,350-acre reservoir located just minutes from the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. This unit is one of nine access points around the lake and provides a developed recreation area suitable for both motorized and paddle craft. The ramp provides direct access to explore the Elm Fork Branch of the Trinity River as it feeds into the larger lake system.
Beyond the boat ramp, Johnson Branch is a full-service recreation area with additional amenities including a swim beach, fishing pond, fishing pier, fish cleaning stations, and hiking trails. Paddlers can use this access point to explore not only the lake but also the scenic 20-mile multiuse Greenbelt Corridor, which follows the Elm Fork Branch of the Trinity River downstream from Lake Ray Roberts toward Lake Lewisville. The proximity to the DFW area makes it an accessible destination for day trips or longer paddles.
Note that this is a non-reservable day-use facility. Additional boat ramps and full-service marinas are available at other Lake Ray Roberts units (Sanger and Jordan) if you need fuel, supplies, or overnight accommodations.
