The US 96 Bridge access point is a Texas Parks & Wildlife paved boat ramp located just west of Evadale on the west bank of the Neches River. This facility provides convenient public access to the Neches River and its connected waterways, including Pine Island Bayou. The ramp is easily accessible from US Highway 96, making it a practical launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats exploring the Beaumont Unit waterways.
The Neches River in this area is a slow-moving, meandering river suitable for paddlers of various skill levels. The river's gentle character makes it ideal for recreational paddling, wildlife viewing, and fishing. Be prepared for typical East Texas conditions, including potential wildlife encounters and seasonal water level variations. The paved ramp ensures reliable access during normal conditions, and the location's proximity to Evadale offers nearby services and amenities for paddlers planning day trips or longer excursions.
