Agelina River

The Agelina River boat ramp at Redland is an excellent access point for paddlers and boaters, offering a well-maintained concrete ramp in good condition. The site features a low wooden dock aligned with canoe gunwales, making it particularly convenient for kayakers and canoeists launching or taking out. A small peninsula downstream of the dock serves as a primitive camping spot, providing a rustic overnight option for paddlers planning multi-day trips.

This access point sits along the scenic Angelina River and provides gateway access to several downstream opportunities. Within paddling distance, paddlers will encounter Alazan Bayou entering from the left (approximately 6 miles downstream) and the US 59 crossing (about 12 miles south of Nacogdoches), where additional public shoreline access is available. The river in this section is popular for recreational paddling and fishing, including white bass. A Texas Parks & Wildlife Department boat ramp is located nearby for those seeking additional access options or facilities.

The Redland location works well as a starting point for day trips or longer paddling expeditions. Paddlers should check current water conditions before launching, as river levels can affect flow and navigation.
