About This Access Site
The US 59 Bridge access point provides a Texas Parks & Wildlife boat ramp located on the Polk County side of the Neches River, approximately 3 miles southwest of Diboll. This site offers a convenient launch location for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats accessing the middle section of the Neches River. The area is known for numerous sandbars along this stretch of river, which can affect water levels and navigation, particularly during lower water periods.

This access point is best suited for paddlers looking to explore a moderate-sized river system. The Neches River in this region accommodates both recreational paddling and fishing activities. When planning your visit, be aware of seasonal water level variations and sandbars that may influence your route planning. Check current conditions before launching, as water levels can impact navigation and camping options along the river. The site provides basic boat ramp access; contact Texas Parks & Wildlife for information about parking facilities, amenities, and any applicable fees.
