The West 4th Street access point provides boat launch capabilities on the Colorado River near Robert Lee in Coke County. This is a major river system (USGS Stream Order 8) with an average flow of 2,220 cubic feet per second and moderate gradient of 3.2 feet per mile, making it suitable for various paddling activities. The site offers downstream left river access with designated parking on higher ground; vehicle traffic to the water is prohibited.
Before visiting, note that a gate code is required for access, and paddlers should plan accordingly. There are no public facilities such as bathrooms, picnic tables, or grills at this location. The nearest convenience services are approximately three miles away to the east at the Highway 71 and Alternate 90 intersection. Given the Colorado River's significant flow rate and velocity, paddlers should assess current conditions and be prepared for active water conditions before launching.
