Axton's Bass City

Axton's Bass City is a full-service marina and boat ramp facility located on the north end of FM 2946 bridge along the Lake Fork Creek arm of Lake Fork Reservoir in Rains County. This is one of the largest and most well-equipped access points on the lake, situated conveniently close to the Dallas area. The ramp provides access to Lake Fork Reservoir, a popular destination for fishing and recreational boating.

Beyond the boat ramp, Axton's Bass City offers comprehensive amenities including RV spaces, a motel, boat storage, a gas station with convenience store, and a restaurant—making it a good choice for extended trips or multi-day outings. Paddlers and boaters should be aware that while the reservoir has numerous buoyed boat lanes for navigation, **submerged timber is a significant hazard throughout the lake**, so caution is essential when operating in all areas. The lake supports diverse fishing opportunities, including bass and bluegill, particularly during spring and summer months.
