About This Access Site
Beach Drive provides boat ramp access to the Red River at Lake Texoma near Pottsboro, Texas. This location serves as a gateway to one of the largest reservoirs in the United States and the 12th largest in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' system. The access point is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized vessels looking to explore Lake Texoma's expansive waters.

The Red River system is a major waterway with significant flow (averaging over 68,000 cubic feet per second) and moderate gradient typical of major rivers. Lake Texoma itself offers diverse recreational opportunities, from flatwater paddling to sailing and power boating. The nearby Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge provides additional exploration opportunities for wildlife viewing and nature-based recreation in the area.

**Important Note:** Zebra mussels have been detected in Lake Texoma. All boaters and paddlers must thoroughly clean, drain, and dry boats, trailers, livewells, bait buckets, and gear before transporting to another water body to prevent the spread of this invasive species.
